Every year Pegasus Bay releases a small amount of 10 year old wines from their library stock to showcase the potential of these mature wines.
This Pinot Noir offers a harmonious blend of ripe red berries, elegant spice, and subtle earthiness, all presented with a silky texture and refined tannins that enhance its overall sophistication and finesse.
With its well-balanced acidity and complex flavor profile, Pegasus Bay Prima Donna 2015 pairs seamlessly with a variety of dishes, from roasted duck and grilled lamb to earthy mushroom risotto and aged cheeses.

Description
Pegasus Bay make one of the finest Pinots in the country with their Estate label - and their Prima Donna label stands yet another tier above – it’s only made in the very best vintages. Like many winegrowers, Pegasus Bay had a nearly perfect vintage with a cool spring followed by a sunny summer and lingering dry autumn in 2015. Weighing in at a perfectly balanced 13.5% alcohol, it tastes much more powerful, a testament to the low cropping and concentration of the ancient vines. Definitely better for a decant, this wine kept blossoming in the glass for an hour or more, throwing off its oak cloak and expressing wild herbs and game notes to go with the densely packed fruit profile.
