Product Notes
Pegasus Bay Bel Canto Dry Riesling is a vibrant and spirited wine from New Zealand's renowned Canterbury region. A dynamic balance of crisp acidity, with underpinning sweet notes, this wine presents a fragrant bouquet of ripe citrus, apricots, and honey. Aged in old oak barrels and on lees, it boasts added complexity, equating to a luscious body and unctuous mouthfeel. With mineral undertones and an exquisitely long finish, it pairs splendidly with Asian cuisine. This world-class Riesling perfectly encapsulates the quality and character of the Pegasus Bay vineyard.
Tasting Notes
Upon release it is lemon-straw in colour. The bouquet is an enticing medley of citrus and stone fruit, interspersed with floral notes of elderflower and honeysuckle. Layered beneath there are also hints of ginger, honey and spice. The long hang time and influence of botrytis has resulted in a wine that is rich and full bodied, with ripe phenolics that add structure and length. It is concentrated yet delicate, with invigorating acidity and a satisfyingly dry finish.
