2015 Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir

£48.00

A Benchmark New Zealand Pinot

The 2015 Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir is a masterclass in balance, purity, and complexity. From one of North Canterbury’s finest producers, this wine captures the unique character of the Waipara Valley’s cool climate and glacial soils, delivering a Pinot Noir that is both generous in flavour and finely structured.

This vintage stands out for its concentration, derived from naturally low yields and a long ripening season. It is a compelling choice for those seeking a Pinot Noir that expresses both New Zealand’s unique terroir and the craftsmanship of one of its most respected family-owned estates.

Winemaking:

Traditional Burgundian methods guided the creation of this wine. Fruit was harvested in small parcels at peak ripeness, with around a quarter fermented as whole bunches to enhance structure and spice. Natural fermentation took place in open vats with gentle hand plunging to extract fine tannins. After fermentation, the young wine was macerated on skins for added depth before being pressed and transferred to French oak barriques, 40% of which were new. The wine matured for 22 months, underwent natural malolactic fermentation, and was carefully blended to achieve balance and complexity.

Pairing Suggestions:

This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast duck, venison, or lamb, while also complementing mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, and roasted root vegetables.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, and cherry are lifted by clove and pepper, with savoury notes of grilled game and olive tapenade. The palate is concentrated yet fresh, with fine-grained tannins and a long, mineral finish.
