From a long-established player in Waipara, a small area about an hour's drive north of Canterbury, Riesling remains Pegasus Bay’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. Its 2022 Riesling releases (both estate and Bel Canto) lack a little of the usual concentration, but that’s not unexpected considering the vintage. When it comes to the Chardonnay here, it continues to be overtly funky and reductive, which I find detrimental to its overall pleasure. The Pinot Noirs are muscular and spicy, but there's evidence in recent vintages of greater refinement.
