Pegasus Bay

Pegasus Bay 'Virtuoso' Chardonnay 2013 Waipara Valley - Canterbury
A powerful, rich and full bouquet of stone fruit, oak and spice: baked peach and nectarine with white spiced oak, new oak and a distinctive savoury/leesy complexity - even a flint-like edge. On the palate - dry, firm, youthful and intense with fabulous Chardonnay flavours of ripe peach and stone fruits, grapefruit, nutty oak and loads of texture; cashew, grapefruit peel, lees and some sulphide-like suggestions; full-bodied and rich. Great wine!
95 Points

Pegasus Bay Late Harvest Pinot Gris 2014 Waipara Valley - Canterbury
Golden hues and very bright appearance; Intense, honeyed and spicy bouquet; quite floral with an old white rose note, plenty of white pepper spice and fleshy baked pears and apples. On the palate - creamy, lush, sweet and delicious - big flavours of white fleshed fruits, poached and seasoned with spice; medium+ acididty contrast the lush sweetness; baked apple, long and sweet finish. Delicious!
