Discover the exceptional elegance of Pegasus Bay Aria Late Picked Riesling , a beautifully expressive sweet white wine from New Zealand's renowned Waipara Valley.

Part of Pegasus Bay's prestigious reserve collection, Aria is crafted from carefully selected, late-harvested Riesling grapes, including a proportion affected by noble botrytis. Extended ripening allows the fruit to develop remarkable concentration, richness and aromatic complexity.

This vintage reveals captivating aromas of honeysuckle, elderflower, marmalade and pineapple, complemented by delicate ginger and lemon meringue notes.

The palate is luscious and richly textured, delivering layers of ripe stone fruit, citrus and honeyed sweetness, beautifully balanced by vibrant natural acidity. A subtle natural spritz adds freshness and liveliness, leading to a long, elegant finish.

An outstanding expression of New Zealand late-harvest Riesling, offering exceptional richness without sacrificing freshness or balance.

Alc: 12%
