2022 Pegasus Bay Chardonnay

Rich and textured yet racy with a long, gently creamed finish.

Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with a distinctive green tint to the edges and a watery hue. Pronounced nectarine aromas tinged with hints of grapefruit and gun flint sail from the glass. Also chiming in are notions of bees wax, oily toast like notes and roasted almonds. Rich and textured, flavours of nectarine, pear and bees wax are underscored by lively acidity which imparts a racy feel. Oily toast like elements, almond and infusions of gun flint the undercard. Finishes long and gently creamed yet bristling with freshness.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews….
Rich and reduced notes of lemon confit, gunsmoke, river stones and grapefruit. The medium-bodied palate has a fine acidity and a slight phenolic edge from a small amount of skin contact, giving notes of orange blossoms, honeysuckle and lanolin. Powerful with an underlying freshness. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
