About this wine
Awarded 95 points by Bob Campbell MW, Pegasus Bay Aria Late Picked Riesling is a luscious North Canterbury dessert wine showcasing exceptional balance and purity. Perfumed and zesty, the nose bursts with lime blossom, jasmine, rose petal, and hints of quince, candied orange peel, and lemonade. The palate delivers rich, opulent layers of citrus and floral fruit sweetness, perfectly balanced by a vibrant seam of acidity and a subtle phenolic edge. This structure provides precision and focus, leading to a long, succulent finish. Enjoy now or cellar for added complexity. A perfect match for blue cheese, fruit tarts, or classic crème brûlée.

Food pairing suggestions
Food pairing suggestions
Ideal with rich, pungent cheeses like blue or gorgonzola, where the wine’s sweetness balances the bold, savoury flavours beautifully. It’s equally suited to desserts spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, or clove.
It also pairs well with cured meats like prosciutto, smoked foods, and creamy cheeses such as brie or mascarpone. Fruit-based desserts, vanilla and caramel flavours, pastries, white starches, and fresh berries complement the wine’s indulgent character.
