Pegasus Bay Aged Release Riesling 2015, Waipara Valley, North Canterbury

Fantastic bouquet, the Pegasus Bay signature of complexity, style and a moment botrytis, classic. I do notice a lick of ‘kero’ in the bouquet, it adds breadth, depth and a certain Germanic quality. The bouquet also has equal intensity of lemon and peach with a distinctive minerality and unmistakable layer of intrigue. Outstanding on the palate, off-dry and tense with acidity. Flavours of citrus and apricot then apple and honeysuckle follow. Lengthy and delicious with a lick of orange peel and pith. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2030+.

This is a love hate wine for many drinkers, I am on the love side, this wine is utterly delicious. Those who find the wine has a bit too much ‘kero’ need only look to the German counterparts to know this is not that this is a positive attribute and reflects the vintage.
