葡萄园
葡萄园位于北坎特伯雷（North Canterbury）的怀帕拉谷（Waipara Valley）内，坐落在朝北、排水性良好的阶地上。得益于特维奥代尔山脉（Teviotdale Range）的背风庇护，这里能最大程度抵御太平洋东风的侵袭，进而形成独特的微气候（mesoclimate）。
园内葡萄藤树龄超 30 年，其中大部分采用自根苗种植（未嫁接砧木）。葡萄藤扎根于 “格拉斯内文砾石土”（Glasnevin Gravels）—— 这片土壤由数千年来从山区冲刷而下的硬砂岩（greywacke stones）、粉土（silt）与壤土（loam）构成。土壤肥力较低，自然抑制了葡萄藤的生长活力，使得葡萄产量减少，但果实成熟度极佳、品质上乘且风味浓郁，能充分展现这片独特风土（terroir）的特质。
葡萄园日间温暖，夜间却属怀帕拉谷内最凉爽的区域之一，这种气候延长了葡萄的成熟周期，同时让果实保留了充沛的自然酸度。

品酒笔记：
上市时，酒液呈明亮的柠檬色。香气层次丰富，馥郁迷人：哈密瓜、油桃与柑橘的鲜活气息率先扑面而来，其间交织着黄油爆米花、燧石烟熏、香草荚的风味，还带有一丝类似维吉麦（vegemite，澳大利亚经典咸味酵母酱，此处指酵母带来的独特咸鲜感）的气息。口感上，酒体饱满却不失细腻，奶油般顺滑的质感与清新活力的酸度相互平衡，赋予酒液清晰的层次感与张力。整体风格优雅，且蕴含着内在的力量感与清晰结构，余韵悠长迷人，令人回味。Vintage: 2020
Winery:  Pegasus-Bay
Grape: Chardonnay
Region:Waipara Valley

The vineyard is located within the Waipara Valley of North Canterbury, on free draining, north  facing terraces. It benefits from being in the lee of the Teviotdale Range, giving maximum  protection from the Pacific’s easterly breezes and thus creating a unique mesoclimate. The vines  are over 30 years old, with a large proportion planted on their own roots. They are located on  the “Glasnevin Gravels” where greywacke stones, silt and loam have been washed down from  the mountains over the millennia. The soil is of low fertility, resulting in naturally reduced vine  vigour. This produces low yields of optimally ripened, high quality, flavourful grapes, which  fully express the qualities of this unique terroir. The vineyard has warm days, but the nights are  amongst the coolest in the Waipara Valley, drawing out the ripening period of the grapes, while  still retaining good natural acidity.

Characteristics:
On release the colour is bright lemon. A rich tapestry of aromas rises to satiate the  nose, rock melon, nectarine, and mandarin spray at the fore, interwoven with hints  of buttered popcorn, flinty gun smoke, vanilla pod, and a whisper of vegemite. The  palate is full bodied yet precise, with a creamy textured mouthfeel balanced by a  shaft of invigorating acidity that gives focus and drive. Elegant with underlying  power and structure, building towards a long, beguiling close.
