Pegasus Bay Winery

Within the Waipara Valley, Pegasus Bay vineyard gets maximum protection by a range of hills, which protect it from the cooling winds of the pacific. Its sheltered position, but proximity to the sea, give it warm days, cool nights and a dry autumn, resulting in a very prolonged ripening period, promoting intense flavour development and optimal ripeness.

Natural methods and as little intervention as possible at all stages from vine to bottle typify Pegasus Bay approach to wine making, and their unusually large staff allow operations such as shoot thinning, crop thinning, berry exposure and fruit selection, to be carried out meticulously.
