Pegasus BayWaipara Valley, New Zealand
Why you'll love it
A reserve-style dessert Riesling from Waipara, made only in exceptional vintages with 30–50% botrytis-affected grapes.
Luscious citrus and stone fruit flavours—lime, mandarin, apricot—layered with honeysuckle and jasmine. Sweet yet balanced by vibrant acidity and a gentle spritz.
Perfect with blue cheese, fruit tarts, or spiced Asian dishes.
Best known in Mosel, Alsace, Clare Valley
One of the world's great white grapes. Lime, apple, peach and floral notes, with bright, racy acidity. Made in every style from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, and capable of ageing for decades, when it develops honey and toasty notes.
New Zealand
North Canterbury, on New Zealand's South Island, a short drive north of Christchurch. Limestone-rich soils, warm dry days and cool nights suit Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay. The wines combine ripe fruit with bright acidity and a mineral edge. A smaller, characterful alternative to Marlborough.
