Pegasus Bay Riesling 750ml
The Donaldson Family have been seriously involved in viticulture and winemaking for over 40 years. Founder Ivan Donaldson planted one of Canterbury’s first vineyards in 1976 and went on to establish Pegasus Bay in 1986 with his wife Christine. It is a true family business, with the second generation now actively involved.
Tasting note
It has a pale lemon hue. Opulently scented, the nose unfurls in waves of citrus, floral
and tropical tones. A surge of mandarin spray, pineapple, honeydew melon, and
citrus blossom, ebbs to reveal an undercurrent of green apple, kaffir lime leaf and
oriental spice, drifting over a steely mineral floor. The palate is rich yet precise, a
textured mouthfeel and charming sweetness balanced by appetising acidity and well
pitched phenolics. This is an elegant and stylised wine, crisp and structural, with a
long, resonant finish.
Alc: 12.5%
