▷ Wine-making philosophy
Pegasus Bay’s aim is to grow grapes of the highest quality, which fully express the features of the vineyard, and to handle these with the utmost respect – believe in traditional sustainable viticultural management, minimal handling of fruit during processing and gentle pressing,to capture the unique flavours of the vineyard in our wine.
Full flavored wines with texture, length & balance are hallmarks, complexity and longevity are also key features.
