ADD TO FAVOURITES

This is not the Pegasus Bay's flagship Pinot Noir, but it sometimes beats its big brother and has been consistently good for many years. A much-lauded style with intensity and an array of plum, berry, oak, toasted nut, mineral and anise spice flavours. There's a delightfully rustic hint to the wine, perhaps from the fine, ripe tannins.

Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"It has a deep ruby hue. Fragrant and earthy, the nose unravels with layers of cherry, dark plum and pomegranate, complimented with savoury nuances of mushroom, tanned leather, hazelnut, spicy oak, and a hint of violet. The mouthfeel is finely textured and silky smooth, with brisk acidity and ripe, integrated tannins providing the framework for the fruit. Refined and full of finesse, the wine builds across the palate, offering a sense of precision and focus on the long, rewarding close."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Gorgeously complex and enticing, the wine shows sweet plum, olive, dried mushroom and toasted nut aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's wonderfully weighted and lingering. Splendidly framed by supple texture and finely infused tannins, finishing impressively long and plush. At its best: now to 2035."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Youthful, varietal and enticing bouquet that comes alive after 30 mins open. There’s classic mineral, dry clay, red beery fruits and dried herb qualities as the wine begins to open up. Baking spices and wood scents of vanilla and clove, some smoke moments then a flinty reductive complexity. A dry wine touches the palate with burst of flavour that reflect the bouquet, the reductive quality sticks around for a while, yet adds some funk and style. Balanced polished tannins, medium+ acid line and a lengthy finish. A wine for the cellar still with best drinking from 2028 through 2038."

The Pegasus Bay vineyard enjoys the natural advantages provided by its Waipara Valley location: high sunshine hours, hot dry norwesters, closeness to the Pacific Ocean combined with good shelter from its Easterlies, a bed of ancient gravel and smooth stones enhancing drainage and overall heat retention - all conspiring to provide an ideal, prolonged grape ripening season.

Pegasus Bay has spaces for private events, including landscaped gardens, wetlands and lakes and two levels of well-appointed restaurant area.

Bob Campbell MW, of Australian Gourmet Traveller says "Pegasus Bay gets my vote for Waipara’s top winery for a number of reasons: its wines are often exceptionally good and are always made in adventurous, out of the main stream styles"
