PEGASUS BAY Virtuoso Chardonnay 2019

The wine has a bright lemon hue. In the bouquet and flavour there is a complex intertwining of fruity and savoury elements. There are impressions of citrus fruits, white peaches, nectarines and greengages overlying nuances of smoky bacon, grilled mushrooms and barbequed sweet corn. One senses a racy vitality and power in the palate but yet it holds this in check and remains restrained, tight knit and focused. While generous it is also austere with a backbone of minerality and a long grapefruity finish.
