Winery Details

    Pegasus Bay is a family-owned and run business within the Waipara Valley, led by patriarch and Neuroscientist Ivan Donaldson. Free draining and low fertility soils produce low yields of high quality, flavourful grapes, which fully express the qualities of Pegasus Bay’s unique setting. The range of wines is led by diverse and ageworthy styles of Pinot Noir and Riesling, with highly expressive Semillon, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewürztraminer and Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon blends complementing the portfolio.

    Pegasus Bay Merlot Cabernet 2018

    Boasting more berries than a jam session at Strawberry Shortcake’s house, this feisty, fleshy blend of merlot and cabernet sauvignon shows that the southern climes can indeed shine so far as the big reds are concerned. Showing signature plum, pepper and cocoa characters of merlot, alongside bay leaf, a tweak of tobacco and blueberry notes of cabernet sauvignon, it has a ripe, elegant mouthfeel, good generosity and fine-grained, tongue-clicking tannins to finish. Warming, savoury and deliciously drinkable. Nice one Pegasus Bay.

    Pegasus Bay Merlot Cabernet 2018
    Pegasus Bay has an exciting diverse, if sometimes surprising, array of grapes growing in its Waipara Valley vineyards in the heart of North Canterbury. Many of them were planted simply to see what would fit, and thanks to the long, dry autumn growing season, quite a number of different grapes can ripen fully here. This enables varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Franc and even Cabernet Sauvignon to thrive and produce wines such as this full-bodied,
    juicy, age-worthy red.
