Tasting notes

The 2023 Legacy Peak Chardonnay presents a vibrant pale gold hue. On the nose, it offers an aromatic spectrum of crisp green apple, ripe pear, and subtle citrus zest, underpinned by a delicate minerality. The palate is fresh and precise, with a lively acidity that carries flavours of orchard fruit and a hint of white blossom. The finish is clean and persistent, suggesting a wine crafted for immediate enjoyment while possessing the structural integrity for short-term cellaring.
