Pegasus Bay is a long-established player in Waipara, a small area about an hour’s drive north of Canterbury. Riesling remains this producer’s calling card when it comes to fine wine, from the dry and powerful Bel Canto (which always contains a proportion of botrytized fruit) to the fully sweet, noble-rot-induced Encore. Regarding Sauvignon, Sémillon and Chardonnay, the resulting wines are very much a Pegasus Bay stylistic interpretation: funky, flinty and fierce. The new-to-me 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Whole Bunch takes the funk too far.
