Pegasus Bay Chardonnay 2022

95 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Richly styled with gorgeous complexity, showing grilled pineapple, mango, grapefruit, roasted hazelnut, and flinty characters on the nose. The palate delivers terrific weight and fleshy texture, wonderfully supported by beautifully pitched acidity, finishing impressively long and expansive.

James Suckling

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.

Dave Brookes - Halliday Wine Companion

Bright lemon/straw in the glass, the '22 release offers up quite rich aromas of juicy nectarine, preserved lemon and citrus fruits with hints of struck match, spiced oatmeal, fennel gratin, vanilla bean, riverstone and pressed flowers. It's dry, long and flavour-packed on the palate, with creamy and nutty oak, wisps of struck flint, gruyere, bright acidity and a really complex plume of flavour on the exit.

Rebecca Gibb MW - Vinous

This is a rather sweetly fruited, oak-influenced 2022 Chardonnay. A touch of spritz on the entry is followed up with peach, vanilla, toasted nut and gingerbread flavors. A combination of mouthwatering acidity and phenolics add grip and grunt. This Chardonnay has an unapologetic style that's oh-so Pegasus Bay.
