Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2021

The Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir represents the pinnacle of quality from this pioneering North Canterbury estate, owned and operated by the Donaldson family. Grown in the unique, sheltered microclimate of the Waipara Valley, this wine benefits from hot, dry summers and the cooling maritime influence that allows Pinot Noir grapes to achieve perfect ripeness and profound complexity. This is a powerful yet graceful expression of New Zealand Pinot Noir. The nose is highly aromatic and layered, revealing initial notes of black cherry, ripe plum, and wild strawberry, followed by complex tertiary aromas of forest floor, sweet spice, and smoky charcuterie. The palate is rich and concentrated, with a beautiful textural presence. The fruit is dense and dark, balanced by bright acidity and a savory complexity. The tannins are fine, providing a muscular yet velvety mouthfeel that leads to an exceptionally long, persistent finish.
