About this wine
Pegasus Bay Riesling is a vibrant expression of North Canterbury’s unique terroir. Crafted with extended hang time and a portion of noble botrytis, this wine showcases layers of complexity while retaining freshness and finesse. The nose unfurls with opulent citrus, floral, and tropical notes—mandarin spray, pineapple, honeydew melon, and citrus blossom—underpinned by green apple, kaffir lime leaf, and a hint of oriental spice over a mineral base. The palate is rich yet precise, offering a textured mouthfeel with charming sweetness balanced by lively acidity and well-integrated phenolics. A gentle spritz adds extra vibrancy, leading to a long, elegant finish. Perfect with fresh seafood, aromatic Asian dishes, or goat cheese salad.
