Pegasus Bay Fortissimo Muscat NV, Waipara Valley, North Canterbury

Aromatic bouquet with scents reminding me of preserved white fleshed fruits, poached pears and apples, white flowers and fragrant spices of the orient. Silky texture touches the palate first then a rush of warming alcohol contrasted by a core of fruit flavours, acidity and luscious exuberant finish. Great drinking on its own or with white chocolate desserts. Drinking window from today and through 2030+.

Only 400 litres of this wine was made. A similar expression to the Vin Doux Natural wines of France’s south and south-west appellations.
