Pegasus Bay Winery

Ivan and Christine Donaldson's family estate established 1985; producing some of NZ's most complex Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay from Waipara Valley. The Ivan Donaldson Classical Concert Series and arts patronage parallel the wine quality focus. Benchmark for understanding Waipara's limestone-clay terroir and its potential for structured, age-worthy whites.

Pegasus Bay is the Waipara Valley's founding estate and its clearest voice for the region's serious potential; the Aria Riesling and Maestro Pinot Noir are benchmarks for New Zealand's cool southern South Island wine character. A winery that places arts and food culture at the centre of its identity.
