2023 Pegasus Bay Aria Riesling (Late Harvest) 750ml
Grape
Riesling
Its Origins
Located in arguably New Zealand's most exciting wine region of North Canterbury (more specifically, Waipara), albeit sparsely scattered with wine estates it is at the forefront of interesting and unique wines in NZ. This is due in part to a fabulous free-draining, well protected terroir. Pegasus Bay is run by the Donaldson family who were pioneers in the region and have been involved with local grape growing and winemaking since the 1970's. The whole family are involved in the process from grape to bottle, and a deep respect for the land, with a long term view towards vine and soil health typifies the Donaldson Family's approach to grape growing. Pegasus Bay is an accredited member of the NZWG sustainable viticulture program and are firm believers of using natural methods to combat pests and diseases rather than the application of unnecessary pesticides and herbicides.
What The Critics Say
94/100 Cameron Douglas
"Such an enticing bouquet with the sweetness of ripe fruit, honey and honeysuckle, preserved lemon, quince and peach. As the wine touches the palate you’ll notice a spritz like tickle, that’s deliberate adding mouthfeel and freshness and accentuating the acid line then core flavours of citrus and stone fruits. Precise and pristine, salivating and delicious. A wine for the table any day of the week. Best drinking from 2024 through 2030."
