What you should know about PegAsus Bay Winery Restaurant
If a wine critic was not passionate about any of Pegasus Bay’s wine they should seriously consider a change in career NZ Wine Country. The Donaldson family have been seriously involved in wine since the early 1970’s and were pioneers of local grape growing and wine making. She is also a lover of opera and the arts and has been heavily involved in the local Opera scene for many years. Christine has organised a number of concerts at the winery’s natural amphitheatre and a reserve range of wines have been dedicated to Christine’s passion for opera.
Their eldest son, Matthew is winemaker and graduated with an oenology degree and a postgraduate diploma in viticulture at Roseworthy College in Australia. He has worked many vintages in other parts of the world, with a particular focus on Burgundy. Another son, Edward is Marketing Manager who spends much of his time trotting the globe and promoting his family’s wines to the more than 25 countries where Pegasus Bay is distributed, his wife Belinda directs the winery’s multi award winning restaurant. Within the Waipara Valley Pegasus Bay vineyard gets maximum protection from the Pacific’s easterly breezes by being tucked up under the lee of the Teviotdale Range.
The Waipara Valley is in the South Island of New Zealand, 30 minutes drive north of Christchurch. To the west lie the Southern Alps Main Divide , from whence the region’s hot nor’west winds derive. 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. Pegasus Bay is an accredited member of the NZWG sustainable viticulture programme and are firm believers of using natural methods to counteract pest and diseases rather than the application of unnecessary pesticides and herbicides.
A deep respect for the land with a long term view towards vine and soil health typifies the Donaldson Family’s approach to grape growing. Our 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. We believe in traditional sustainable viticultural management, low crop levels, minimal handling of fruit during processing and gentle pressing. Pegasus Bay wines are made with estate grown fruit from our Waipara Valley vineyard.
Pegasus Bay is Canterbury's top winery Michael Cooper’s Wine Atlas, New Zealand. When I returned to the UK, I frequently ended up in conversation with fellow wine writers about New Zealand wine and whenever their name cropped up, there was always consensus that this was one of the country’s most exciting producers Neal Martin, eRobertParker
