Tasting notes
It is intensely aromatic and complex. Layers of dried apricot, candied mango, orange peel, quince and honey unfold, all wrapped in delicate notes of noble botrytis such as beeswax, saffron and dried flowers. Nuances of soft spices and subtle minerality also appear.
It is silky, enveloping and opulent, with an unctuous texture balanced by a vibrant acidity that prevents the sweetness from dominating. The flavors accurately reflect its aromatic profile, and develop elegantly across the palate. The finish is long, persistent and absolutely harmonious, with echoes of citrus, honey and exotic fruits. A sweet wine of extremely high complexity, depth and balance, capable of evolving magnificently over decades.

Description
The PEGASUS BAY Encore Noble Riesling 2025 is one of the most unique and complex expressions in the Pegasus Bay portfolio, conceived as a limited-edition wine and produced only in the finest vintages. It comes from old vines grown without irrigation on the slopes of the Waipara Valley, in North Canterbury, a region blessed by its cool and dry climate, ideal for the development of botrytis cinerea (noble rot).
This “noble harvest” is characterized by a careful selection of botrytis-affected grapes, which concentrate their sugars and natural flavors without losing acidity. The result is an intensely aromatic wine, with a luscious texture, balance, and extraordinary aging potential. It is only produced in years when the morning humidity and afternoon drying allow for the controlled development of botrytis.
Vinification is carried out with the utmost care, using a slow and controlled fermentation to preserve varietal purity, the expression of noble rot, and the natural balance between sweetness and freshness. The name “Encore” reflects its special and limited status, like an encore at a concert: something extraordinary that happens outside the usual program, reserved only for the most outstanding moments.
This wine is a true gem within the world of botrytis Riesling, with an ability to evolve in the bottle that extends for decades. Its production represents both Pegasus Bay's commitment to excellence and its deep respect for the unique conditions that nature offers on exceptional occasions.
