Peregrine Saddleback Central Otago Pinot Gris 2023

Description

Dry, Floral, Pear

"Pristine and inviting, the elegantly fragrant bouquet shows Nashi pear, fig, rockmelon and jasmine notes, leading to a beautifully flowing palate that's succulent and silky. Rounded and generously textured, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2023

Inviting, elegant aromatics of nectarine, jasmine and ginger combine with a bright, balanced palate laced with preserved lemon and stone fruit. A cool climate Pinot Gris, dry in style showing sweet fruit flavours balanced with fresh acidity.

Favourable early season conditions delivering strong canopy growth lead into settled weather for an even fruit set. The hot and dry summer that followed set up an early harvest and great fruit quality.

Fermented clean, long and slow to retain freshness and gain complexity. Cool ferments, with limited time on lees to retain aromatics and freshness in the wines.
