Tasting notes
It unfolds with remarkable intensity: aromas of black cherry, ripe raspberry and red plum intertwine with earthy notes, undergrowth and dried leaves, along with delicate nuances of sweet spices, cloves and a subtle presence of toasted oak.
It is elegant and structured, with a soft and silky entry. The tannins are fine but firm, providing texture and aging capacity. The fruit profile remains present, balanced by a vibrant acidity that gives freshness and precision to the whole. Notes of black tea, minerality and a slight smoky touch also appear, which make its long and persistent finish more complex.

Description
The PEGASUS BAY Pinot Noir 2023 is a sophisticated and authentic expression of the Waipara Valley terroir in the North Canterbury region of New Zealand. Crafted by the family-owned Pegasus Bay winery, widely recognized for its artisanal approach and commitment to quality, this Pinot Noir faithfully reflects the unique vineyard conditions and the winemaker's minimalist approach.
The grapes come predominantly from vines over 30 years old, grown without irrigation and with naturally low yields, which translates into remarkable concentration and depth in the final wine.
Vinification was carried out with spontaneous fermentations using indigenous yeasts, and a significant proportion of whole bunches was included in the fermentation to add structure and complexity. Subsequently, the wine was aged for an extended period in French oak barrels (some new), where its tannins were refined and the wine's different components were integrated without losing its varietal identity or sense of place.
PEGASUS BAY Pinot Noir 2023 represents a classic approach, but with a modern interpretation of New Zealand Pinot Noir. Its structure, balance, and aging potential position it as one of the most outstanding expressions of the variety in the Southern Hemisphere. The winery considers it a wine with great aging potential, capable of evolving elegantly for over a decade under proper storage conditions.
