Kongsgaard’s 2023 channels mineral tension and ripe power, walking the line between opulence and electric drive. Waves of white peach, grilled pineapple and lemon curd pour from the glass, with hints of marzipan and orange marmalade gathering at the core. There’s an undeniable richness, but the finish is focused and full of stony energy, keeping the wine vivid and never heavy. Effortlessly complex, it honors true Burgundian roots while showing that Napa sunshine—always a gold standard for California chardonnay!
