  Top Tip “Stunning – THE wine of the tasting and a sure fire GOLD in any tasting it enters.  The flavours just go on and on and the mouthfeel is oily and opulent.  You MUST try this.”

- TizWine.com 

“Just one of the many strings in the bow of top-notch New Zealand producer Pegasus Bay, this is a wonderfully refreshing yet intensely sweet wine.  Immediately identifiable as Riesling, it has a lemony, zesty freshness and superb balance.  It’s hard to imagine anyone not loving this wine.”
- Beverley Blanning, MW, Sommelier Journal, U.S.

2007

17.5/20 points

"Deep lemon with lots of evolution on the nose. Honeyed wine with lots of acidity and lots of sugar - probably very difficult to make and much more complex and ambitious than most. Bravo! A real product of the vineyard. Very zesty. Hovers between medium dry and medium sweet".

"...This wine underscores the multi-talented nature of Riesling. Poised, balanced and far from sugar dominated..."

"Pegasus Bay, in the Waipara region near Christchurch, makes some of New Zealand's most exotic wines. This magnificent sweet wine, perfumed beautifully and beguiling. Pristine fruit flavours and perfect balance in the mouth".

Huon Hooke, Sydney Morning Herald, Good Living, Australia
 

"The 2007 Vintage is an elegant, slightly honeyed Waipara wine with lovely ripeness and richness...great harmony."

"..It displays an engaging "minimalist" nose with touches of lanolin musk....just the right amount of residual sugar to balance the acidity".
