Pegasus Bay
ARIA Late Picked Riesling 2023 750ml

Aria is part of Pegasus Bay’s reserve series and is the sister wine to our Bel Canto dry riesling. Both are only made in exceptional years that are favourable for the development of noble botrytis.

Upon release it has an alluring golden hue.  Perfumed and zesty, the bouquet is a sumptuous banquet of floral and citrus fragrances.  Lime blossom, star jasmine and rose petal, interplay teasingly with wisps of quince, granny smith, candied orange peel and lemonade.  A feisty seam of acidity dashes across the palate, ensuring the rich and opulent mouthfeel remains focused and precise.  The wine’s impressive structure is emboldened further by a touch of phenolic tartness that acts to balance its charming sweetness, giving rise to a long and succulent close.
