DESCRIPCIÓN
The PEGASUS BAY Chardonnay 2020 is an iconic white wine that reflects the winemaking excellence of the Waipara Valley on New Zealand's South Island. This region, renowned for its stony soils and cool climate, offers ideal conditions for producing high-quality wines that combine intensity, freshness, and complexity.
Sourced from our own carefully managed vineyards, this Chardonnay stands out for its rigorous control in both the vineyard and the winery, where the authentic expression of the terroir and varietal purity are paramount. The harvest is carried out by hand, selecting the grapes at their optimal ripeness to guarantee a balance between acidity and concentration.
In the winery, the wine is crafted using techniques that include fermentation in high-quality French oak barrels, followed by aging on fine lees, which adds texture and depth without sacrificing the wine's natural freshness. Malolactic fermentation is carefully managed to achieve a balanced profile, avoiding excesses and maintaining its characteristic vibrancy.
The result is a full-bodied and structured Chardonnay, capable of evolving in the bottle and expressing the complexity of its origin. This wine represents Pegasus Bay's commitment to crafting sophisticated and long-lived wines that showcase the perfect balance between fruit, minerality, and a delicate touch of oak.
CATA
Presenta un color amarillo dorado brillante con reflejos verdosos, que denota su juventud y buena concentración.
Despliega una compleja gama aromática donde se combinan frutas maduras como manzana, pera y melocotón, junto con notas cítricas frescas y toques de frutas tropicales sutiles. Se perciben elegantes aromas de roble francés, con matices de vainilla, mantequilla y un delicado toque tostado, resultado de su crianza en barrica y fermentación sobre lías.
Es un vino de cuerpo medio a completo, con una textura cremosa y una acidez equilibrada que aporta frescura y vivacidad. Los sabores frutales se integran perfectamente con las notas de crianza, ofreciendo una experiencia redonda y armoniosa. El final es largo, persistente y elegante, dejando una sensación de profundidad y sofisticación.
