About this wine

Pegasus Bay Merlot Cabernet from North Canterbury is crafted in the classic Bordeaux Claret style, showcasing rich varietal complexity. Predominantly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch of Malbec, this full-bodied red reveals dark forest fruits layered with earthy nuances. Aromas of blackcurrant, boysenberry, and damson plum merge with hints of cedar, olive tapenade, mocha, and star anise. The palate delivers generous fruit weight, ripe spicy tannins, and vibrant acidity that creates focus and tension. A long, lingering finish makes it ideal with roast lamb, beef casseroles, or aged cheeses.
