Dry, full bodied, iconoclastic Riesling from New Zealand’s king of spatlese styles, Mat Donaldson and his winemaking team at Pegasus Bay Winery, which is New Zealand’s greatest Riesling producer.
This wine, Bel Canto, is the queen of the winery’s Riesling range. It is bone dry with 5 grams per litre of residual sugar due to high brix (grape sugars) at harvest time and a small percentage of noble rot (also known as botrytis). It drinks well now and can age for the long term; up to and beyond 10 years.
Extended hang time on the vines has resulted in the intensely ripe, tropical fruit flavours in the grapes which were picked to retain refreshing, high but balanced acidity. The free run juice was fermented slowly at cool temperatures to retain fruit characters and varietal purity. Alcoholic fermentation was left to continue until residual sugar of 5 g/l was achieved. Retention of a little of natural carbon dioxide gives spritz character to add liveliness and accentuate freshness.
