2008

 

"Fresh, lime, steely and racy on the nose. Very complete and beautifully balanced with real pizzazz to it. Already a fine aperitif. Dry"

"Another trade mark Pegasus Bay dry Riesling...This is full of ripe stone fruits and citrus, fully textured and kaleidoscopic".

Nick Stock, MBM, Australia

 

"… it’s a very good Riesling made in an Alsace style with plenty of stone fruit, citrus and some floral flavours plus good richness …"
Bob Campbell & Huon Hooke, GTW Magazine, Australia

 

“Dry Riesling can be a difficult style to do well in our climes, but this full-flavoured example from Riesling supremos Pegasus Bay has a richness that pulls this off with aplomb.  Made from late-harvest fruit from the estate’s oldest vines, it’s an ultra-intense wine in which notes of white peach, mandarin peel, blossom and exotic spice combine with its fresh lift of mineral, grapefruit and tongue-tingling spritz.”
Jo Burzynska, New Zealand Herald

"The 2007 is even better with a stoic, reserved granite-scented nose with superb definition - very Mosel in style. The palate is complex....it has thrilling balance and precision."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate,USA
