Kongsgaard Chardonnay Napa Valley

California

Napa Valley

The 2021 Chardonnay comes bounding out with eager-to-please notes of fresh grapefruit, Golden Delicious apples, and juicy pineapple plus suggestions of nutmeg, yuzu zest, and Marcona almonds with a hint of struck flint. The medium to full-bodied palate is super intense, with a crisp line of freshness cutting through the tightly wound citrus and tropical fruit flavors, finishing long and sparkly. This is sourced mainly from Hudson, with some fruit from Hyde and Winiarski's vineyard in Coombsville.

Sommelier

Mørk gyllen gul, nesten litt grønn skjær. Gule epler, voks, markant eikepreg, vanilje, litt søtelig gule krydder, smør, popkorn, anis, korianderfrø. Med+ syre, smør, sitrus, grape, her er frukten skrudd helt til maks og det er en enorm konsentrasjon. Balansen er ikke helt i mål, selv om det i og for seg er veldig mye av alt. Sitter medium lenge en lang litt varm utgang og antydninger til alkohol

The nose is very fruity with peach, pineapple and mango. There is also citrus with both lemon and mandarin, and with air comes popcorn. It is appealing and elegant. 

The palate is velvety and intensely fruity. There's also caramel and vanilla, and it's medium acidic. It is nicely balanced. The finish is medium long and acidic. 

It is perfectly mature but can be aged for another 10 years. It pairs well with Norwegian prawns.
