Pegasus Bay Riesling 2008

Pegasus Bay Riesling 2008 from the Canterbury region is a little different from the 2007 vintage, due to patches of botrytis which became beautifully shrivelled and noble. Lemons, limes and mandarins come to the fore, and there is a background of ripe stonefruit such as peaches and apricots. Honeysuckle and honeycomb influences come from botrytis, which has also made the wine more full bodied and concentrated. It has a spine of natural acidity and tingling minerality that helps draw out the palate structure to a citrus zest finish.
