Peregrine Pinot Gris 2023

Family-owned, organic winery Peregrine has been farming its Central Otago vineyards and producing wines that embody the region’s landscape and terroir for the last 25 years. Nestled among rugged mountains and pristine rivers, Peregrine produces a range of award winning, premium wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc.
Taking a ‘hands on’ approach to winemaking since 1998, the McLachlan family share a passion for the land and a vision about how they wanted to manage it. And so Peregrine began their organic journey in 2009, culminating in the Biogro organic certification for the entire Peregrine range in the 2017 vintage.

The result are wines made from exceptional organic fruit, and which tell the story faithfully of Central Otago’s unique climate and environment.

Fruit was sourced from select vineyards within the region, planted on predominantly glacially derived loess soils over schist alluvial gravels. Grapes were hand-picked, with a combination of whole bunch pressing and de-stemming, with some skin contact. Fermentation was in stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature, using a combination of wild (indigenous) and selected yeast strains. The wine was held on light lees in tank for four months with occasional lees stirring.
