Pegasus Bay ′Main Divide′ Riesling 2019/20, Canterbury

This wine is named in honour of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, known locally as the Main Divide. This striking landscape is where Pegasus Bay’s vines call home. They’re blessed by excellent soil quality and sea breezes from the Pacific. This Riesling is slightly off-dry in style. It has notes of honeysuckle, ripe apricot and lime, with a mineral undercurrent and zippy acidity. Some grapes affected by botrytis were added to provide a honeyed richness. Try it with duck.
