Pegasus Bay Aged Release Riesling 2009, Waipara Valley, North Canterbury

Intense, striking bouquet with toasty aromas with fruit suggestions of dried red apple and preserved lemon, lime and marmalade, preserved flowers and crushed white rocks. Palate impressions are immediate with an off-dry, soft creamy texture, flavours of apple and marmalade, lemon and orange peel, flowers and white soil. Medium+ acidity and overall texture is captivating and alluring. Concentrated, persistent and totally delicious with a long finish. Best drinking from today and through 2025+
