Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"It has an alluring light golden hue. The bouquet leaps from the glass, a volley of ginger, cinnamon, lychee and lavender at first, soon opening to reveal more intricate mineral and earthy notes, underlain with a hint of gun smoke. In the mouth it is rich and multi-layered, augmented by unobtrusive sweetness and a simmering phenolic drive, that flows across the palate, leading to a prolonged and spicy close. Due to the varietal intensity of Gewürz, some additional winemaking techniques have been employed to give the wine extra complexity. Skin contact offers increased structure, while oak aging on lees has added mouthfeel."

5 Stars Michael Cooper, July 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Full of personality, the 2021 vintage was harvested with a 'lot of noble botrytis', and fermented and matured for six months in old oak puncheons. Pale gold, it is a highly perfumed, very engaging and ageworthy wine. Not overtly honeyed, it is fresh and vigorous, with concentrated peach, ginger and spice flavours, gentle sweetness (16.5 grams/litre of residual sugar), excellent complexity, and a real sense of immediacy."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2022 (2020 Vintage)
"Fantastic bouquet of exotic fruits and flowers, there’s a fine spicy quality, definitive varietal core and distinctive power. Flavours of spiced quince and apple, fresh white nectarine and a fruit bowl of tropical fruits lays out the foundation of flavour. There’s no mistaking the texture – touching all sections of the palate with a light phenolic bitterness back palate reminding me of some noteworthy Alsace examples. I relly enjoy this style of wine – its attributes engage the palate with a satin cream texture, contrasting phenolic mouthfeel and core of orchard and tropical fruits. Great acid line and finishing dry. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2029."

5 Stars Yvonne Lorkin, September 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"This wine is so beautifully balanced, it’s like the liquid equivalent of a Simone Biles beam routine. Released in the 30th anniversary year of Peg Bay brilliance, this gewürz glows with candied lychee, crystalised ginger, a whiff of white pepper, persimmon and showing a soft, creamy, peachy undertone. Clean yet richly complex, laced with manuka honey and gently, luxuriously oily to finish. Exotically excellent."

93/100 Jane Skilton MW, Wine Magazine, October 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"No shrinking violet, this is aromatic wine at full volume. Rose petal and Turkish delight to the fore followed by ripe tropical papaya, melon and mango giving weight and richness. Definitely off-dry, and packed with masses of voluptuous, hedonistic flavour."

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"
