Product Notes

Pegasus Bay Prima Donna Pinot Noir is a mesmerising wine from New Zealand's Waipara Valley. Its multi-layered bouquet of ripened black cherries and plums is accentuated by underlying notes of toasted spices and floral elements. The palate is sumptuously rich, displaying an exceptional harmony of fruit sweetness, mineral bite, and firm, velvety tannins, ending in a long, complex finish. This wine exhibits the vineyard's signature concentration and longevity, reflecting old vines and low yielding philosophy. Imbued with an elegant complexity, the Prima Donna advances Pegasus Bay's reputation for producing world-class Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

It is deep ruby in colour, with a complex and compelling boquet full of pomegranate, cherry, vanilla, chocolate and spice. There is also a pleasing savouriness, offering up notes of game, mushroom and thyme. The palate is concentrated and rich, with fine grained tannins that add texture and weight. Complementing this is a core of refreshing minerality that gives the wine a lively tension, resulting in superb strucutre and length. While ready to drink on release it can be expected to cellar well and evolve gracefully for many years.
