Easily one of the best Chardonnays you will find in New Zealand, the team at Pegasus Bay seemingly achieve supreme class almost effortlessly. Go here, please do.
A wine that encompasses so much detail and finesse, a welcome of barbecued peach, Jersey caramel, burnt butter, toffee and butterscotch greets you. Layers of interest peel off with ease - your discovery doesn't cease with such quality in the glass. Flinty, the creamy mouthfeel reaches out to you as it rolls about with absolute ease - a ball of pleasure you could say. Sure there is oak and there is some weight in the mouth, but the handling and balance with the fruit speak volumes for the winemaking. A little cashew cameo slides in late with a lemony tang having the final word, but it's by no means goodbye - I'm back for another dose in quick time. Bravo - just brilliant!
