Taste the exotic sweet wines of Pegasus Bay winery

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

The opportunity for a preview of their tasting, features at the New Zealand School of Food and Wine, on Sunday 28 July heightens the anticipation of what will be a fascinating event.

Pegasus Bay, from Waipara in North Canterbury, released its first Riesling in 1993 and today its grapes are sourced primarily from un-grafted vineyards planted over 30 years ago. Edward Donaldson also believes that while ripe fruits dominate the wine when young, given the opportunity to age, the rieslings can feel drier on the palate especially as they develop more savoury, caramel and tertiary notes.

The New Zealand Wine and Food Event is an annual three-day public event in Auckland comprising a showcase of New Zealand and international wine, cooking workshops and master classes.
