In this episode I taste Pegasus Bay Finale 2010 made from Noble botrytis Semillon grapes grown in the Waipara Valley, New Zealand.
I also discuss the latest Decanter magazine’s inclusion of New Zealand Pinot Noir and other white wines.
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.
