Description
Saddleback is the second label from Peregrine, reflecting the same commitment to organic viticulture and Central Otago expression in an accessible, value-driven range. The Pinot Gris 2024 is made from estate and local organic vineyards in the Gibbston Valley, where cool nights and rocky soils yield fruit with aromatic lift and crisp acidity. Grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, then fermented at low temperature in stainless steel to retain purity and fruit vibrancy. Bottled under Stelvin at 13% abv, the wine reveals aromas of ripe pear, apple blossom, and subtle spice, with an off-dry palate balancing juicy stone fruit, gentle sweetness, and a clean, mineral finish. Saddleback Pinot Gris is ideal for lighter dishes, such as seafood, salads, or creamy pastas, and delivers an approachable introduction to Otago's signature white wine style, maintaining quality and character in every vintage.
