Producer of the Year – Susie & Peter New Zealand Wines of the Year 2026

Pegasus Bay are no strangers to glowing praise, but they are particularly chuffed about a recent accolade they received being named PRODUCER OF THE YEAR in Susie & Peters NZ WINES OF THE YEAR 2026.

For those of you that don’t know Susie & Peter, they are both UK based MW’s and have a very popular podcast called Wine Blast. They tasted through over 200 wines from NZ’s best producers to assemble the list. See the list here.

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Glowing bright lemon in colour, the hypnotic nose delivers a barrage of tropical and floral impressions. Papaya, mango and daphne flower launch from the glass, followed by a volley of candied orange rind, gingerbread, baked quince and beeswax. The palate is fully engaged, with a luscious landing on the dancefloor and flavours that mirror the bouquet. Mouth filling, rich and sweetly seductive, balanced perfectly with a cheeky lash of refreshing acidity that adds structure and length on the delightfully long carry. 186 g/l RS.

Finale is part of our reserve series and is only made in exceptional years, being dependent on specific conditions at the end of the season leading to noble rot. Modelled on a French Sauternes using traditional Bordeaux techniques, the wine is a Semillon/ Sauvignon blend. Only the most beautifully raisined bunches were selected to make this wine. A small amount of very concentrated juice was then obtained from these grapes and put into new French artisan oak barriques (50% new), where the two varieties were left to ferment separately. The wine was then matured in these barriques on its natural deposits of yeast lees (sur lie) for 12 months, prior to blending and bottling."

5 Stars & 97/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, April 2026 (2024 Vintage)
"Complex, stylish, and captivating, the bouquet reveals dried fruit, honey, marmalade, baking spice, and almond meal characters. It's brilliantly structured on the palate, offering excellent focus and vibrant drive, wonderfully framed by creamy texture, delicious sweetness, and bright acidity, leading to a persistent, gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2039."

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"
