Citrus
My opinion of this wine has nothing to do with the packaging. I think these modern and innovative containers for wine are really interesting. They are lightweight, easy to recycle, and less likely to break.
This wine did not offer any characteristics of Chardonnay. It has a vaguely citrusy aroma and an extremely tart, verging on sour, finish.
Here are some other items we think you might enjoy

Apple, Apricot, Floral
Grilled Chicken, Salmon, Roasted Vegetables
Viognier comes in many shapes and sizes…floral or tropical and even sometimes citrusy. This is basic white table wine and doesn’t live up to the grapes potential.
Citrus, Green Apple, Floral
Charcuterie, Rissoto, Roasted Potatoes
It’s a nice little wine, fresh with slight acid making it a bit tart in a good way. The citrus (mostly lemon) is pretty apparent right away. The floral scents showed up once the wine warmed up a bit.
For the same price point, I’d recommend our recent 5-star discovery from Portugal
It’s a solid table wine which I would definitely cook with. Remember, don’t cook with wine you don’t like. Cooking only intensifies the things you don’t like about the wine.
Pear, Lemon, Green Apple
Popcorn, Omelettes, Quiche
This wine was a bit of a surprise being under ten dollars. It has a distinctly citrus/lemon scent when you smell it. On the taste, I found melon, apple, and very ripe pear. The challenge I found with the wine is that it’s all a bit smashed together. Reminds me of those fruit cups in a tin drowned in syrup. Every bite tastes different and simultaneously the same. Strong mouthfeel, coats your mouth, almost oily. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we like a good fruit cup.
Chenin Blanc is a very underrated grape and can range from tropical to honey in flavour. I highly recommend everyone try it. It’s like a Chardonnay and a Dry Riesling had a baby.
