  • Vintage: 2022
  • Flavour: Always a fuller-bodied expression with flavours of grapefruit and green melon, some tropical ideas like pineapple and vanilla. Peg' Bay always has the knack of just the measure of new and aged oak barrels to bring shape and form to the bouquet and palate. The frame of this wine is bold and impactful with fruits and non-fruit flavours reflecting the bouquet along with a satin-cream mouthfeel.
  • Cost: RRP at $45.00
  • Food pairings: Salmon with skin on, pan-seared or baked topped with a soy-glaze, served with lentils (or something earthy), something green and baked jacket potato with lots of sour-cream.
  • Topicality: It's officially autumn, though daytime temps are still warmish, the evenings are definitely getting cooler - so a richer, weightier dish makes sense. Food that is filling and easy to prepare is always a plus.
