Overview
The Pegasus Bay Encore Noble Riesling 375ml is an exceptional dessert wine, made only in the finest vintages when conditions are perfect for noble rot. Grown in the unique terroir of the Waipara Valley, this wine reflects over 35 years of careful vineyard management, with grapes benefiting from a cool mesoclimate that preserves their natural acidity. The result is a wine of unmatched concentration, richness, and elegance, ideal for those seeking a rare and indulgent experience.
Tasting Notes
Golden and bright in appearance, the Pegasus Bay Encore bursts with decadent aromas of ripe melon, quince, honey, and perfume, balanced by deeper notes of crème brûlée, marmalade, lemon meringue, and sweet spice. On the palate, it is unctuous and concentrated, with a multi-layered, palatial mouthfeel that is both luxurious and complex. A seam of lively acidity adds structure, balancing the rich sweetness, and guiding the wine to a long, pleasurable finish that lingers with elegance.
