"Bold toasty, woody, nutty and fruity bouquet with intense aromas of brazil nut and baked yellow peach, vanilla and baked custard, red apple and a creamy-cheese note. On the palate - full-bodied, creamy and toasty, no mistaking the sweet vanilla oak moments, baked goods and yellow orchard fruit flavours. Medium acidity, fine wood tannins, gently salivating acidity and lengthy finish. Familiar and very easy to imbibe. A lovely drink now and through 2023" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Mar 2020

"Stunning and immensely complex, the wine shows ripe peach, grapefruit, vanilla oak, flint and oatmeal characters on the nose, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate that offers outstanding depth and richness, backed by silky texture and bright acidity, finishing impressively long and gloriously satisfying" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2020

"Intense, richly-textured chardonnay with ripe peach, stone fruits, saline-mineral, struck flint, vanilla, brioche and nutty oak flavours. A generously-proportioned and complex chardonnay" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2020

"Big charry and flinty nose. Great intensity and concentration. Complex and rich; long finish with grapefruit citrus Reductive. Carries over to palate. Too much. Mild yellow; developed; very sulfidic and smoky; oaky; developed; rich but a tad clumsy. Sulfides rule. Sulfitey and lean; exotic" The Six Nations Wine Challenge, Feb 2020

"The free draining stony soils lie in the lee of the Teviotdale Range, which protects the region from strong easterly coastal winds, creating a favourable growing climate with hot days and cool nights. This enables the grapes to retain great acidity, which adds intense freshness to the wines, especially notable in the great whites from here. This wine was made from hand-harvested grapes whole bunch pressed into large French oak puncheons and fermented with wild yeasts then matured on yeast lees in barrel. The wines is creamy, dry, fullbodies and savoury with an incredibly refreshing taste of ripe, citrusy grapefruit and a lingering finish” Joelle Thomson, Drinksbiz, Jun/Jul 2020

"Brooding nose offering struck match and a saline, seashell-like note with oak nuances in support. Tropical fruits and pineapple pop their heads up, too. Structure here, creaminess, with tropical and stonefruits melding with citrus and almond-led nuttiness on the long close. Grows perceptibly in the glass, real acid drive adding freshness to a smart package" Mark Henderson, Otago Daily Times, May 2020

"Big and bold. Pretty well leaps out of the glass and says, ‘Hey, take me on!’. Grapefruit, funky, ’reductive’ style, yeasty mineral aromas. In the mouth, the funky aspects take a back seat and the palate opens up with ripe grapefruit, toasty hazelnut, canned peach and a long finish" Phil Parker, Ponsonby News, NZ

Lemon/straw in colour, its bouquet reveals a vibrant melange of green apple, lemon, peach and hints of acacia. Struck match notes and a flinty minerality add to the
wine’s savoury complexity, with touches of vanilla and baking spices providing further interest. The palate is mouth filling, however there is a spine of refreshing acidity that gives the wine satisfying tension and a prolonged finish.

They use traditional Burgundian winemaking methods. The fruit was hand-picked in stages during early April and then the whole bunches gently pressed. The nonclarified juice was then put into large French oak barrels (puncheons), 70% of which were old in order to limit pickup of oak flavour. In these it underwent primary fermentation by the grapes indigenous yeasts. The wine was then matured in the puncheons on its natural deposits of yeast lees (sur lie). In the summer after harvest it started to go through spontaneous secondary (malolactic) fermentation. It was regularly tasted during this time and the fermentation was stopped when the ideal balance was obtained. It had approximately 12 months maturation prior to bottling.

The Donaldson Family have been seriously involved in viticulture and winemaking for over 40 years. Founder Ivan Donaldson planted the first Canterbury vineyard in 1976 and went on to establish Pegasus Bay in 1986 with his wife Christine. It is a true family business, with all four of their sons and two spouses involved, managing various aspects.

The vineyard is located within the Waipara Valley of North Canterbury, on free draining, north facing terraces. It benefits from being in the lee of the Teviotdale Range, giving maximum protection from the Pacific’s easterly breezes and thus creating a unique mesoclimate. The vines are over 30 years old, with a large proportion planted on their own roots. The soil is free draining and of low fertility, resulting in naturally reduced vine vigour. This produces low yields of optimally ripened, high quality, flavourful grapes, which fully express the qualities of this unique terroir. The vineyard has warm days, but the nights are amongst the coolest in the Waipara Valley, drawing out the ripening period of the grapes, while still retaining good natural acidity.

Settled weather during December provided optimal conditions for flowering. A very hot summer then enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully. Free draining stony soil helped mitigate the effects of some late summer rain, and the ensuing dry autumn meant the fruit was able to be picked in excellent condition.

Spray lid didn't work
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70
One of the bottles didn't sprayer didn't work. it was so hard to push, we follow the instructions on the top of what to open or close it. The other bottle did work and was easy to push and spray. Disappoint with the product. I was out the country and I was needing the sunblock due to my husband skin cancer and the hotel didn't have sun-blocker.

Reliable protection that stays put during workouts!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried many expensive name-brand sunscreens, but this Amazon Basics version performs just as well, if not better. It’s become my go-to for morning runs and trips to the beach because it actually stays on even when I’m sweating. Why I gave it 5 stars: Non-Greasy Formula: Unlike other sport sunscreens, this one absorbs quickly and doesn't leave that heavy, sticky film on my skin. Actually Water Resistant: I’ve used it for laps in the pool and long hikes; as long as I reapply as directed, I haven't had a single sunburn. No "Sting": One of the best things is that it doesn't run into my eyes and sting when I start to sweat—a huge plus for runners. Great Value: You get a generous 8-ounce bottle for a fraction of the price of "premium" brands. The fact that it’s formulated without Oxybenzone is an added bonus for peace of mind. If you’re looking for effective, no-frills sun protection for an active lifestyle, you can't beat this. It’s a staple in my gym bag now!

Great value and very practical
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
This sunscreen is a great value for the price. The SPF 50 protection works well and the lotion applies smoothly without feeling too greasy. It absorbs nicely and provides good coverage for outdoor activities. I especially like using these bottles to refill the sunscreen dispensers at my Airbnb for guests. It’s convenient, reliable, and affordable when you need multiple bottles available. Overall, it’s a solid everyday sunscreen and a very practical option if you need good protection at a reasonable price.

good price for good product. applies well, shake and store upright
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I believe it is equal to the name brands It is 50 SPF Sun Protection Factor so it offers strong UV A and UV B protection which are the 2 ranges of sun rays that do the skin damage and burning. It is an easily absorbed lotion that when rubbed goes into the skin and is not visible. It is thick and goes on with a non shiny, non greasy, solid thick feeling which is what we need for it to stay on as long as possible. It feels good after being rubbed in in that it feels dry and not overly greasy or with no shine and sheen. It is a good product and offers burn protection to me in some clear-sky strong sun uses. Reapply after entering the pool water or swimming laps and after an hour (all sunscreen labels say reapply after 80 minutes which I believe is per recommendations of the federal FDA or some medical studies). I reapply often and I still get tanned but I do not want to burn.

Survived the sun like a pasty legend
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this sunscreen because I’m basically a human marshmallow — one hour in the sun and I’m toasted. This Amazon Basics Sport SPF 50? It’s like armor for the pale and easily crisped. I slathered it on before a full day of hiking, sweating, and pretending I enjoy direct sunlight, and guess what? No burn. Not even a pink glow. Just victory. It goes on smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and somehow stayed put through sweat, water, and my dog licking my arm. It’s fragrance-free, which means I didn’t smell like a coconut smoothie or a chemical spill — just clean and protected. Pros: • High SPF that actually works • Sweat and water resistant — like, impressively so • No greasy residue or weird smell • Affordable and comes in a big ol’ bottle • Didn’t turn me into a lobster (the bar is low, but still) Minor feedback: It’s not fancy or trendy, but honestly, I’m here to not burn — not win a skincare award. Also, it takes a bit of rubbing in, but once it’s on, it’s locked and loaded. Final thoughts: If you want solid sun protection without the drama, this stuff delivers. Whether you’re hiking, swimming, or just trying to survive summer, it’s a reliable sidekick. Would absolutely buy again — my skin demands it.
