Description
Peregrine Wines, an icon of Central Otago, is lauded for its dedication to organic farming and innovative, terroir-driven whites. Their Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is sourced from estate and select grower blocks in the Gibbston Valley, where cool alpine nights and stony soils enhance varietal character and aromatic intensity. Grapes are hand-picked and cool-fermented in stainless steel to capture the grape's bright acidity and vivid fruit profile. Bottled at 13% abv, this wine leaps from the glass with notes of passionfruit, gooseberry, elderflower, and zesty lime, supported by subtle mineral tones and refreshing salinity. The palate is crisp and energetic, combining fruit purity with a lively, mouthwatering finish. Peregrine's Sauvignon Blanc is a benchmark for the region and a versatile partner for seafood, fresh salads or goat's cheese, showcasing both the estate's environmental commitment and the vibrancy of Otago's climate.
