  2019 ‘Finale’ Semillon / Sauvignon Blanc, Pegasus Bay

  £2650

  Pegasus Bay, located in North Canterbury’s Waipara Valley, is a benchmark New Zealand winery founded by the Donaldson family and known for its dedication to crafting wines of character and longevity.

  ‘Finale’ is a botrytised dessert wine made only in exceptional vintages when late-season conditions allow noble rot to develop. Inspired by the great wines of Sauternes and crafted using traditional Bordeaux techniques, ‘Finale’ is a richly expressive blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Only the most beautifully raisined, botrytis-affected grapes are hand-selected, gently pressed, and vinified in French oak barriques (50% new). Fermented and matured on lees for 12 months before blending and bottling, ‘Finale’ is a testament to both patience and precision in winemaking.

  The 2019 ‘Finale’ glows a radiant golden hue, immediately hinting at its opulence. The bouquet is captivating, an elegant mosaic of ripe apricot, lemon curd, and crystallised ginger, layered with aromas of honeysuckle, dried mango, and a delicate wisp of baking spice. The influence of noble rot is profound, lending a luscious, honeyed richness to the palate. Semillon contributes weight and structure, while Sauvignon Blanc offers a bright thread of acidity, bringing freshness and lift to the wine’s luxurious texture. Intensely flavoured yet perfectly poised, the finish is persistent and graceful, echoing notes of citrus zest and toasted brioche. A rare and memorable sweet wine that balances decadence with finesse, the 2019 Finale is built to age beautifully.
