Description
Peregrine Wines stands at the forefront of Central Otago's organic movement, combining careful viticulture with a strong focus on site expression. Sourced from estate and local grower vineyards in the Gibbston Valley, the 2023 Riesling reflects the region's stony soils and cool, alpine climate. Grapes are hand-picked at optimal ripeness, then fermented slowly at low temperature in stainless steel to lock in fruit purity, freshness, and aromatic intensity. Bottled under Stelvin at 12.5% abv, the wine exhibits lifted aromas of lime blossom, green apple, and jasmine, with a gentle thread of minerality and delicate residual sweetness on the palate. The acidity is electric, driving a taut, refreshing finish that lingers with citrus and white flowers. Peregrine Riesling's off-dry style makes it ideal with spicy Asian dishes, shellfish, or as a vibrant aperitif. Its capacity for cellaring ensures it will develop complexity and character for years to come, reflecting the pedigree of both region and producer.
