Wine Review: Pegasus Bay ‘Bel Canto’ Riesling 2008
Lemon in colour with fresh lifted aromatics that really spill from the glass, hints of Citrus, Lime, and some chalkiness. The palate has some very good varietal definition, with plenty of citrus but the acidity and minerality are very well balanced with the quality of the fruit.

Jayson’s roots in wine began when his father literally dragged him round France and injected his passion into him. From the age of 8 his family took month long holidays in France travelling through all regions and sampling their wine.
UnScrewed has reinvented the concept of wine tasting in New Zealand and along the way found a new and willing audience. In addition to encouraging straightforward wine tasting, Jayson educates viewers about the effects of regional factors (soil, sun, wind) on wine flavours, and how to buy wine.
