The wine list: Winter 2022

Traditionalists would have you curling up by the fire with a room-temperature red wine this winter, but Cityscape laughs in the face of tradition. Warm your soul with these flavour-heavy Canterbury white wines.

Pegasus Bay Muscat 2017

Nothing packs taste quite like a Muscat. It’s an old-world grape variety with a distinctive perfumed aroma and exploding with juicy and spicy flavours. This example is dry and made with Pegasus Bay’s typical finesse. Limited bottles available.

The Boneline Hellblock Riesling 2021

There ain’t no Riesling like a Waipara Riesling. What you’re looking for in a medium Riesling is the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity and flavour, and The Boneline has nailed it with this fruity and citrusy number.

Greystone Sauvignon Blanc 2020

We all love a good Sauvvy, and this one is an excellent reason to venture outside of the tried-and-tested-again-and-again fields of Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs. Grown right here in Canterbury, Greystone’s Sauvignon Blanc is lightly oaked, complex, totally unique and outstanding.
