Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2014 750ml

A remarkable expression of New Zealand viticulture. This exceptional wine is crafted from a select range of pinot noir clones, carefully cultivated on north-facing terraces to maximize ripening potential while preserving natural acidity. The vines, some over 25 years old, thrive on well-drained soils that contribute to the wine’s unique depth and complexity.

Pegasus Bay aged release pinot noir has intense purple hue. Aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, black cherry, purple plum, chocolate, and spice. Enjoy subtle hints of barbecued meats, grilled mushrooms, black olive tapenade. Palate of rich textures with fine-grained tannins. Finish is silky with exceptional length

This wine benefits from traditional Burgundian methods, including whole-berry fermentation and 18 months of ageing in French oak barriques.

94 Points - James Suckling

A very fresh and concentrated edition of this majestic pinot noir. This is bathed in dark cherry fruits, earth and spices, and there's a meaty depth and plenty of forest bracken too. The tannins are long and grainy, and carry rich dark cherry-plum fruit flavors long.
