Tasting Note

Lemon/straw in colour, its bouquet reveals a vibrant melange of green apple, lemon, peach and hints of acacia. Struck match notes and a flinty minerality add to the wine’s savoury complexity, with touches of vanilla and baking spices providing further interest. The palate is mouth filling, however there is a spine of refreshing acidity that gives the wine satisfying tension and a prolonged finish.

Matured in French oak barrels, Pegasus Bay Chardonnay is remarkably balanced and elegant, offering a lavish and creamy mouthfeel. This stunning wine brilliantly showcases the renowned Pegasus Bay’s mastery in winemaking, making it a true crowd-pleaser for white wine enthusiasts.
