Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2022

From the limestone-rich soils of North Canterbury’s Waipara Valley, Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2022 is a benchmark New Zealand Pinot crafted with meticulous care. Hand-harvested fruit undergoes traditional fermentation, followed by extended maturation in French oak barrels. Known for their dedication to expressing vineyard character, Pegasus Bay delivers a Pinot Noir with both structure and generosity.

Bouquet
Complex and aromatic with notes of dark cherry, blackcurrant, rose petals, and dried herbs, underpinned by subtle earthy spice and a hint of oak.

Palate
Rich and layered with concentrated red and black fruits, savoury undertones, and beautifully integrated tannins. A vibrant acidity keeps the palate lively, leading to a long, powerful finish with mineral complexity.

Food Pairing
Perfect with duck breast, lamb tagine, mushroom risotto, or truffle-infused dishes. Also pairs wonderfully with hard cheeses and charcuterie.

Cellaring
Drinking well now but will continue to evolve and develop through to 2035. Decant for an hour if enjoying young.

Interesting Fact
Pegasus Bay is family-owned and operated, with a strong focus on sustainable practices and minimal intervention winemaking, producing some of New Zealand’s most cellar-worthy wines.
