This Chardonnay, produced by Pegasus Bay, a prestigious winery in the South Island of New Zealand, is fermented with wild yeast and aged for 12 months in oak barrels. It is an exquisitely mellow wine with a rich barrel aroma.
Be sure to try dishes that use butter and cream, such as butter-grilled salmon or sauteed pork with cream sauce.
Superior Chardonnay
This is a full-bodied Chardonnay with an excellent balance of fragrant oak nuances and ripe fruit.
Chardonnay is a variety that is said to have a weak aroma in itself, so barrels are sometimes used to compensate for this. By aging the wine in a barrel, the components of the barrel are gradually transferred to the wine, adding a complex flavor.
This wine was aged in oak barrels for 12 months, giving it a strong oak aroma.
At the same time, it also has a strong aroma reminiscent of sugary fruits such as white peach, pear, and apricot jam.
Just by putting your nose close to the glass, you can smell the intense aroma!
It's almost rude to call Chardonnay a grape variety with little character (laughs).
The taste is also beautiful, like ripe stone fruit, with a clean acidity. The fact that the acidity remains strong despite the richness is proof that the grapes themselves have been slowly aged. The alcohol volume is a solid 13.5%, but it is held together very well by the clean acidity.
Then, the oaky nuances reminiscent of brioche spread through the nose and linger on for a long time.
However, surprisingly, it's not the barrels that hold the whole thing together, but the fruit.
I think what's great about this wine is that while you can still sense the aroma and flavor of the oak, the fruit is still dominant.
Tips for drinking
Chardonnay that has been aged in barrels does not develop its aromas easily, so it is best not to chill it too much.
If you take it out of the refrigerator just before drinking and place it in water (not ice water), you can enjoy it slowly.
Recommended pairings
A wonderfully rich Chardonnay like this would be the perfect match for dishes with creamy sauces.
Any meat, such as pork, beef, or chicken, is fine, or fatty fish dishes are also recommended.
If you are making dishes such as poached or meunière, the stronger the butter flavor the better.
This is a wine with great potential, so be sure to spend some time and money on the ingredients and pair it with something a little luxurious!
Penne with Gorgonzola Sauce
A popular dish at my restaurant, Bokumo, is "Penne with Gorgonzola Sauce." It goes perfectly with the dish.
Beef fillet Rossini style
"Beef Tenderloin Rossini Style" is an incredibly luxurious dish consisting of rare cooked beef tenderloin and sauteed foie gras served with truffle sauce.
It's not easy to get foie gras or truffles at home, but it might be worth the challenge.
About the Winery "Pegasus Bay"
Pegasus Bay is a winery that represents Waipara, a region in the Canterbury region.
The winery was founded in 1986 by Ivan Donaldson, a neurologist, wine writer and wine judge. He started the winery with his wife Christine, but now the whole family, including their sons, run it.
Waipara has a large daily temperature difference and a dry autumn, which allows the grapes to ripen for a very long time, resulting in grapes that are concentrated with just the right amount of acidity. Pegasus Bay has taken advantage of this favorable climatic condition to build a reputation as an excellent winery for Riesling and Pinot Noir.
Although they are a family-run business, the distinctive wines they produce have earned them acclaim around the world, and they have been selected as one of the top five wineries in New Zealand by renowned wine critic Robert Parker Jr.
Pegasus Bay is also certified by the New Zealand Winegrowers Sustainable Viticulture Programme.
They cultivate grapes using the most natural methods possible, without using any unnecessary pesticides or herbicides, and employ many staff members to perform the precise manual work, ensuring high-quality cultivation management.
About the Canterbury/Waipara region
Canterbury/Waipara is located on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island and is characterized by a cool, dry climate.
North Canterbury, which covers the country's largest plain, is also one of the world's leading lamb-producing regions, and the wineries scattered throughout the region offer a wide variety of wines.
Waipara, which can be reached from Christchurch on a day trip, produces premium wines such as Riesling and Pinot Noir and is a popular tourist destination.
