PEGASUS BAY Savignon Blanc 2023
DESCRIPCIÓN
The PEGASUS BAY Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a refined and distinctive expression of this iconic white grape variety, crafted in the heart of the Waipara Valley, one of the most unique and prestigious wine regions in North Canterbury, New Zealand. This wine faithfully reflects the artisanal approach and deep respect for the vineyard that characterize Pegasus Bay, a family-owned winery with a long history of excellence and innovation.
Sourced from our own vineyards, cultivated without irrigation in stony, well-drained soils, this Sauvignon Blanc stands out for its meticulous vine management and hand-harvesting at optimal ripeness. The 2023 vintage was characterized by stable, moderate weather, which allowed for slow and balanced grape development, resulting in a complex aromatic expression and well-integrated natural acidity.
What sets this wine apart from the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc scene is its unique winemaking style. Pegasus Bay opts for a vinification approach that seeks depth and texture, often incorporating barrel fermentation and lees aging, which adds layers of complexity without sacrificing freshness or varietal precision. In this sense, it departs from the simpler, more explosive profile typical of other regions and leans towards a more structured, rich, and long-lasting interpretation.
The 2023 Pegasus Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a clear example of the winery's commitment to crafting wines that express character, origin, and balance. Its sophisticated style and potential for aging in the bottle make it an ideal choice for both curious consumers and discerning wine lovers.

Vista
Se presenta con un color amarillo pálido con reflejos verdosos, brillante y limpio, que anticipa frescura y juventud.
Nariz
Despliega una complejidad aromática inusual para la variedad: notas de frutas cítricas como lima y pomelo se entrelazan con matices de maracuyá, grosella espinosa y nectarina. Aparecen también sutiles aromas herbáceos, flores blancas y un fondo mineral. La crianza parcial en barrica y sobre lías añade capas de cremosidad, leves notas de frutos secos y un delicado toque especiado que aporta profundidad.
Boca
Es vibrante y texturizado. La acidez natural está perfectamente equilibrada, brindando tensión y frescura, mientras que la estructura y el volumen en el paladar provienen del trabajo sobre lías. El final es largo, seco y elegante, con una persistencia que revela tanto la intensidad frutal como su complejidad secundaria.
