Peregrine Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Peregrine Wines winery and vineyards are located in the southernmost grape-growing region in the world, at latitude 45 degrees south, in Central Otago, the heart of New Zealand’s South Island. Central Otago is New Zealand’s only inland and elevated wine growing region, with vineyards nestled in breathtaking river valleys, clinging to snow-capped mountainsides or perched gently on the shores of crystal clear lakes. Peregrine Wines is named in honor of New Zealand’s endemic falcon (Karearea in Maori), a bird without rival or fear. A bird that combines both power and finesse, the essence of Peregrine’s range of wines. A boutique, artisanal producer, Peregrine focuses on Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, and Chardonnay. It is a brand that has, since its first vintage in 1998, gained a reputation both domestically and internationally as one of New Zealand’s iconic wine brands. The winery has been awarded numerous international and domestic trophies, gold medals, and accolades that fully justify this status.

Organic farming is fundamental to every aspect of Peregrine Vineyard Estates, with a holistic approach that integrates crop and livestock farming to vineyard management.  A combination of whole bunch pressing and destemmed fruit with some skin contact. Cool stainless steel fermentation.

Expressive aromas of kaffir lime, honeydew melon and guava fuse beautifully with a delicately textured palate of lemongrass, luscious citrus and tropical fruit.             

"Plenty of sliced limes and honeydew melon with hints of crushed stones follow through to a medium body with attractive fruit and a cooked lemon and apple aftertaste. Delicate at the end. Drink now." - 90 Points, James Suckling
