Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Shimmering pale gold, the nose is full, with lush aromas of citrus blossom, elderflower and green apple, meshed with flecks of quince, kumquat, lime sherbet, and faint mineral undertones. Equally vibrant on the palate, the opulent mouthfeel is packed with bright flavours and youthful energy. Unobtrusive sweetness is balanced by invigorating acidity, adding precision and a delightful tension on the long, moreish close."

Reviews for the 2024 vintage below…

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Delicious on the nose and palate, a wine of complexity and purity. Aromas of apples and limes, mineral and honeysuckle, perhaps a lick of botrytis. Delicious, fresh and dry as the wine touches the palate, flavours mirror the bouquet supported by a backbone of acidity, salivating freshness and long finish with lemon peel and mineral. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2035+."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Gorgeously styled and expressed, the elegantly perfumed bouquet shows pineapple, lemon sorbet, crunchy apple, and rich floral aromas with a hint of spicy overtone. The succulent palate delivers a finely flowing mouthfeel, accompanied by elegant sweetness and bright acidity, finishing in a splendidly harmonious and lingering manner. Style: Medium. At its best: now to 2036."

93/100 Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"The 2024 Riesling is juicy and rounded, with a caress that reminds me of a Spätlese. It’s medium-sweet yet delicate with an almost powdery texture. Residual sugar has rounded its edges and padded out its light body. The finish, however, is succulent and textured, with a combination of firm acidity and phenolics providing the brush to sweep this up and hold it firmly in place. Aromas of apricots, lilac, freshly cooked orange, celery and the merest hint of spice on the fragrant finish."

5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is softly full, with aromas of citrus, apple, blossom and suggestion of tropical fruit. Medium-full bodied, medium-sweet to taste, aromas of mandarin and pineapple melded with honey, blossom, lime leaf and a touch of spice. The opulent mouthfeel is packed with youthful, bright flavours and good energy. The sweetness balances the invigorating acidity and adds dimension and weight to the palate. This Riesling features purity and length, and it is already delicious. Match with fish red curry and Szechuan food over the next 10+ years. Fermented at cool temperatures to 12.5% alc, 25 g/l RS."

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"
