Pegasus Bay

If the bouquet of this wine doesn’t entice you the palate will. Aromas of lime and apple, sweet blossoms and marmalade, baked pear and honeysuckle. A silky touch on the palate matched by the echoes of botrytis and minerality, honeysuckle and pear, apple and citrus peel. A completely delicious wine with plenty of acidity and power, core of fruit and sense of vintage and site. Balanced and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2030+.

Bright, even, straw yellow with a green hue and depth. The nose is lifted, with aromas of green apple, dried apple slice, lime, petrol, crushed rocks and zest. Medium-full bodied, off-dry to taste, aromas of lime, lime peels entwined with baked apple, kumquat, honey, ginger, crushed rocks and a touch of petroleum. The wine is well-integrated and harmonious, with complex aromas developed, accompanied by soft yet enticing acidity, carrying long length and a moreish closing. A juicy Riesling with well-balanced strength and complex development. Match with chorizo pasta and chicken liver & white wine over the next 3-5 years. The fruit was harvested late in the season with a portion of botrytis, free run juice was cool fermented to 12.5% alc, 25 g/l RS.
