Tasting notes
It displays an unusual aromatic complexity for the variety: notes of citrus fruits such as lime and grapefruit intertwine with nuances of passion fruit, gooseberry and nectarine. Subtle herbaceous aromas, white flowers and a mineral background also appear. The partial aging in barrels and on lees adds layers of creaminess, light notes of dried fruit and a delicate touch of spice that provides depth.
It is vibrant and textured. The natural acidity is perfectly balanced, providing tension and freshness, while the structure and volume on the palate come from working on the lees. The finish is long, dry and elegant, with a persistence that reveals both the fruit intensity and its secondary complexity.

Description
The PEGASUS BAY Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a refined and distinctive expression of this iconic white variety, crafted in the heart of the Waipara Valley, one of the most unique and prestigious wine regions in North Canterbury, New Zealand. This wine faithfully reflects the artisanal approach and deep respect for the vineyard that characterize Pegasus Bay, a family-owned winery with a long history of excellence and innovation.
Sourced from the winery's own vineyards, which are dry-farmed on stony, well-drained soils, this Sauvignon Blanc stands out for its careful vine management and hand-harvesting at the optimal stage of ripeness.
What sets this wine apart within the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc landscape is the unique style in which it is crafted. Pegasus Bay opts for a winemaking approach that seeks depth and texture, often incorporating a proportion of barrel fermentation and lees aging, which adds layers of complexity without losing freshness or varietal precision. In this regard, it moves away from the simpler, more explosive profile typical of other regions and closer to a more structured, rich, and long-lived interpretation.
The Pegasus Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is a clear example of the winery's commitment to crafting wines that express character, origin, and balance. Its sophisticated style and aging potential in the bottle make it an ideal choice for both curious consumers and the most discerning wine lovers.
