Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2022
From the Waipara Valley in North Canterbury, New Zealand, Pegasus Bay is a family-owned winery established by the Donaldson family, pioneers of the region’s modern wine movement. Their philosophy blends traditional methods with innovative techniques, focusing on low yields, sustainable practices, and expressing the unique terroir of their estate vineyard.
Wine Description
The 2022 Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir displays a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections. On the nose, it opens with vibrant red cherry, blackberry, and ripe plum, underpinned by earthy tones, wild herbs, and a touch of floral lift. The palate is lush and silky, with finely integrated tannins and a juicy acidity that carries notes of dark berries, black tea, and subtle oak spice. Full-bodied and complex, the wine finishes with lingering savoury nuances and mineral depth. Crafted entirely from estate-grown fruit, this vintage showcases exceptional balance and structure. Enjoy now or cellar confidently for 7–10 years.
