Tasting Notes

Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2023

“ … The palate offers succulent fruit intensity with fleshy texture and plump mouthfeel … Harmonious and flavoursome with refinement and complexity.”
95 Points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, www.wineorbit.co.nz, NZ

“This is one of North Canterbury's greatest Pinot Noirs … fragrant, rich, savoury and supple.  Already delicious, it is a very generous, complex and harmonious red, vividly varietal, with strong, ripe fruit flavours, finely integrated oak, gentle acidity and tannins, and a well-rounded finish” 5 Stars,  Michael Cooper, Independent Wine Writer, NZ

“…The fruit is soft and plush with purity, supported by lacy acidity … It has a welcoming, gentle yet bright expression compared to its past vintages”
18.5+/20, Candice Chow, www.raymondchanwinereviews.co.nz, NZ

Pegasus Bay is a family-owned and run business within the Waipara Valley, led by patriarch and Neuroscientist Ivan Donaldson. Free draining and low fertility soils produce low yields of high quality, flavourful grapes, which fully express the qualities of Pegasus Bay’s unique setting. The range of wines is led by diverse and ageworthy styles of Pinot Noir and Riesling, with highly expressive Semillon, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer and Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon blends complementing the portfolio.
