Tasting note
Pegasus Bay's 2015 Muscat should bring fragrant orange blossom, ripe peach and citrus peel, with a honeyed note. Waipara Valley fruit is expected to feel aromatic and gently rounded, sweetness balanced by acidity that keeps the palate lifted. The projected drinking span ended in 2021, so freshness and bottle condition will matter. If sound, a mellow finish should carry peach, citrus and a soft floral echo.
