Pegase Circle Chardonnay

Pegase Circle Reserve Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $24.50 per bottle

Description: Amongst the 365 acres of Mitsuko’s Vineyard in Carneros, great diversity of soil and microclimate is in evidence. To make the most of this, we select the varieties we plant to each area, and within each variety, we select the clones that can best take advantage of each site. For our 2003 Pegase Circle Reserve Chardonnay we have selected clones to best represent the vineyard’s elegant aspects. Two distinct blocks provide contrasting elements to produce an harmonious whole. The rare “Rued” selection is responsible for the floral, perfumed aroma of the wine, while the old ‘Wente’ selection provides depth and power. Together, we arrive at a wine with intense floral and aromatic nose of peach, nectarine blossoms, jasmine and honeysuckle. The palate is focused on finesse and elegance, with moderate weight and a lingering, floral finish.
