Pegasus Bay Bel Canto Dry Riesling 2023

Pegasus Bay was established in 1985 by the Donaldson Family who were pioneers of the North Canterbury wine region and are widely regarded as a leading producer of quality wine in the region.

Ivan and Christine Donaldson, along with their three sons, are involved in all aspects of the winery’s operation, from vineyard management to winemaking to marketing and the running of their award-winning restaurant.

Ivan oversees the vineyard, which is sustainably managed on a low-cropping regime to provide the best possible fruit to the winemaking team led by Ivan's eldest son, Matthew. Matt has adopted a minimal intervention approach throughout the entire winemaking operation.

The acclaimed Pegasus Bay range is produced exclusively from estate-grown fruit, the result of natural, low-impact methods of cultivation.

Late-harvested with some botrytis influence. Gently pressed and fermented slowly at cool temperatures in stainless steel. Retained a small amount of natural CO₂ for added freshness. Bottled with a touch of spritz to lift the palate.
