Pegasus Bay Riesling 2009 from the Waipara Valley region in Canterbury has a bouquet and flavour suggesting citrus fruit, especially limes, along with peaches, nectarines, lychees, pineapple and tropical spices. The low crop levels have produced good fruit concentration and weight in the mouth. There is a core of minerality and tangy acidity, which flows through the palate, helping to draw out the wine’s length and balance its off-dry finish. While ready to drink on release, with careful cellaring, it
should continue to develop and blossom for a decade or more.
Pegasus Bay are one of only two NZ Riesling producers recommended by Robert Parker's 'Wine Advocate' (USA).
Pegasus Bay Riesling has "Super-Classic" status (meaning it has achieved brilliance in at least 5 vintages!) in Michael Cooper's 'Buyer's Guide to New Zealand Wine', which rates wines according to quality and consistency.
