Pegasus Bay Riesling 2015 Waipara Valley NZ

There is a diverse array of bright aromas and flavors, suggesting mandarins, limes and nectarines with an overlay of mango, lychees, guavas and passionfruit. It has a good body and concentration in the mouth but remains lithe and elegant. There is a fine seam of minerality and crisp acidity that balance its off-dry finish and draw out its lingering flavors.

A fantastic aperitif. Sweet fleshed crustaceans such as prawns and crabs. A wide variety of Asian-influenced cuisine.

Critical Acclaim

93 James Suckling

Off-dry and packed with richness, this has a wealth of ripe peach and mango fruits. The palate has bracing acidity that lifts really weighty and concentrated fruit flesh.

92 Wine Enthusiast

This Riesling, with a slight bit of bottle age on it, is radiant yellow in hue with intense aromas of honey, florals, ginger candy, and pineapple billowing from the glass. The palate is off-dry, the sweetness adding opulence and richness to the wine. A line of pristine acidity balances it nicely. It's lacking in depth of flavor and a sense of place, but is nonetheless a noble crack at a difficult style, from a winery well-known for crafting long-lived Riesling. Drink now–2030 and maybe beyond.

91 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

At 22 grams per liter of residual sugar, the medium-sweet 2015 Riesling would make a fine accompaniment to many spicy dishes. It starts off with green apple notes, then adds riper nuances of nectarines and mandarins, adds a bit of creamy texture on the mid-palate, then finishes with balanced sweetness and acidity.
