From the North Canterbury region's first winery, this Pinot is a beauty. Most Pinots from the Waipara district are a little leaner and juicier but Pegasus Bay has been able to demonstrate some power with a graceful touch.
Be consumed by leaf litter, plummy fruits and blackcurrant aromas. Give this some time in the glass and the reward is imminent as it slowly unfurls. Redcurrants drive a delicate fruit profile. A veil of dried thyme lingers as cloves come out to play later. Spicy and long with joyous persistence, it's hard not to be captivated by the weight. A super impressive wine.
