Peregrine Wines, Central Otago, New Zealand - They have just been awarded the trophy for "Wine of the Year" by Winestate Magazine - in a tasting of 10,000 Australasian wines. Central Otago took out the top 5 spots for Pinot Noir..
Good deal to have them participating in the GWC through Christchurch - South Island!
Peregrine's prime focus is on growing premium Pinot Noir and white varieties from their estate managed vineyards in the Gibbston & Cromwell basin sub-regions. Snow capped mountains dominate the landscape for at least 8 months of the year, with vineyards in the valleys b...elow - a continental climate giving the area hot and dry summers with cool nights. These are all meticulously hand-tended and farmed under a sustainable philosophy. These areas typically produce intensely flavoured wines of finesse and elegance with the predominantly schist soils adding mineral complexity. The winemaking approach, has always been along traditional lines with minimal intervention to let the unique fruit flavours of Central Otago do the talking.
