About this wine
No awards found. Pegasus Bay Encore Noble Riesling is a rare, decadent North Canterbury dessert wine crafted only in exceptional years. Inspired by Alsatian and German noble styles, hand-selected botrytised berries deliver a rich, golden nectar. Aromas of ripe melon, quince, honey, and crème brûlée lead to marmalade, lemon meringue, and sweet spice. The palate is opulent and unctuous, layered with decadent fruit and luscious texture. A refreshing seam of acidity adds balance and structure, extending into a long, indulgent finish. Perfect with blue cheese, fruit tarts, or creamy desserts.

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.
