Description

The 2022 Peregrine Pinot Noir is a calm, confident expression of Central Otago. Made from organically grown fruit across Gibbston, Bendigo and Lowburn, it brings together the region’s cooler fragrance and warmer structure with real ease.

Winemaker Nadine Cross keeps the winemaking light-handed—some whole bunch, some destemmed, all gently fermented and matured in French oak. The result is supple, savoury and quietly detailed, with just the right amount of lift and grip.

It’s drinking beautifully now but will reward a few years in the cellar if you like a little more earth and depth.

"Fragrant, floral pinot noir with bright cherry, cassis and violet flavours… Elegant with energy, supple and diverse. Should develop well with bottle age."

94 points - "Fragrant, floral pinot noir with bright cherry, cassis and violet flavours. Elegant wine with energy. Supple but not complex and showing a diverse range of flavours. Should develop well with bottle age." - Bob Campbell MW (The Real Review)

Style
Purity, elegance combine with texture, concentration and length. A beautiful wine that reflects our commitment to organic winegrowing on the three sub regions that contribute to our Pinot Noir.

Season
Healthy soil moisture and warm sunshine provided strong shoot growth followed by a good flowering and fruit set. The hot, dry growing conditions through summer and early autumn ensured the resulting crop was balanced, ripe and ready for an early start to harvest.

Winemaking
A combination of whole bunch and destemmed fruit fermented and hand plunged in open top fermenters, and matured for 10 months in French oak barrels.

Enjoy
This wine has a cellar potential of up to 10 years and beyond if well cellared. Ideally served at 16° C, we recommend this wine be enjoyed with duck, mushroom dishes & lighter red meats.
