Pegasus Bay Chardonnay 2023

95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Complex and engaging, the wine features aromas of grapefruit, lemon curd, nougat, oatmeal, roasted hazelnut, and gun smoke. It's opulent and plush on the palate, with excellent weight and depth, supported by a creamy texture and bright acidity, for a superbly structured wine with a sustained, sophisticated finish.

Light straw in the glass. Aromas of white nectarine, grilled peach, Meyer lemon and grapefruit with hints of spiced oatmeal, vanillin oak, a curl of struck match, crushed stone, clotted cream, preserved lemon and meadow flowers. Plenty of flavour is on display, with a core of ripe stone and citrus fruits layered with spice, complex flinty tones and fine, lacy acidity that stretches out full-length on the finish.
