Tasting notes
The 2013 Chardonnay, which is already in bottle, displays nectarine, tangerine oil, crushed rock, earthy, full-bodied richness, and magnificent texture and length. This is just a stunner to drink over the next decade or so.

Orange blossom, mint, wild flowers and lightly tropical fruit open up in the 2013 Chardonnay. Rich, plus and beautifully layered throughout, the 2013 possesses dazzling texture through to the ample, creamy finish. Just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel, the 2013 is a real knock-out.
Tangerine peel, orange zest and white flowers race across the palate in the 2013 Chardonnay. The flavors are bright and focused throughout. As good as the 2012 is, the 2013 could turn out to be better. This is a fabulous showing from Kongsgaard.
