Description
As part of Peregrine's value-focused range, Saddleback Rose showcases the energy and vibrancy of Central Otago's cool-climate Pinot Noir. Sourced from organically grown fruit in Gibbston and neighbouring sites, the grapes are harvested early to retain bright acidity and freshness. Gentle pressing and minimal skin contact yield a pale, salmon-pink colour and pure red berry aromatics. Fermented cool in stainless steel and bottled at 13% abv under Stelvin, the wine opens with lifted notes of wild strawberry, watermelon, and rose petal. The palate is crisp and dry, with flavours of red cherry, citrus, and a mouth-watering saline finish, making it an ideal companion for summer fare - think salads, grilled prawns, or antipasti. Saddleback Rose exemplifies the accessible, easy-drinking side of Otago's Pinot Noir, offering clarity and refreshment while upholding the organic standards that define Peregrine's winemaking philosophy.
