The Pegasus Bay Aged Release Riesling 2009 commands a small premium to experience an aged riesling that is still very much alive. First released in 2011…Big, lush and complex riesling with honey, ginger, spice, chalky-mineral and citrus flavours – to name a few. Intense and still quite youthful wine.

Gracefully maturing and superbly complex, the wine shows lemon curd, marmalade, toasted spice and potpourri characters, leading to a richly fruited palate that is fleshy and mouthfilling. It is immensely appealing with subtle sweetness backed by refreshing acidity, finishing impressively long and delicious.
