Peregrine partner with DOC
Resolution Island/Mauikatau (c21000ha), situated between Dusky and Breaksea Sounds, is New Zealand's fifth largest island. It is rat and possum free, and stoats are maintained to very low numbers due to an ongoing and extensive trapping program across the island. With our help and by working with DOC we hope that one day Resolution Island will be permanently stoat-free and threatened species such as our tieke/saddleback can be reintroduced.

Peregrine Central Otago Pinot Noir 2014
Central Otago | Screw Cap | 13% alcohol | Drink 2016-2024 | 95 points
A blend of Bendigo, Pisa and Gibbston vineyards, this is a release that encapsulates the black and red cherry fruits of Central Otago with wonderful violet and rose petal perfume, supported gently by nutty, faintly smoky French oak. A gorgeously succulent palate is intricately woven with a silky tannin structure of masterful finesse. Another outstanding Peregrine.
Pop in and visit us at the Peregrine Wines Cellar Door in Central Otago to taste this fabulous wine, or visit our online shop to view our full range. Enjoy!
