Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Delightfully pure, this Chardonnay will draw you in with enticing citrus, white peach and marzipan, then finish with a delicious and balanced palate of ripe citrus, stone fruit and crème brulee flavours. Delicate elegance underpins this finely textured wine which reflects our commitment to organic winegrowing.

Crafted from organically certified Central Otago Chardonnay – Peregrine Estate Bendigo (100%). Hand harvested and 100% whole bunch pressed. Wild fermentation with indigenous yeast and partial malolactic fermentation. Matured for 10 months in French oak puncheons and hogshead barrels. Barrel fermented in French Oak puncheons (500L) and hogsheads (300L). 32% new oak."

Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Excellent concentration and power with a mineral led bouquet then scents of white fleshed fruits suggesting grapefruit, apple and white peach, there’s a complex and enticing seam of lees and oak, flowers and citrus peel. Compact, new and complex on the palate, a dry wine with layers of texture form tannins and acidity as well as concentration of fruit flavours and power. A delicious wine that is excellent now and will benefit from cellar time too if you can wait. Lengthy and detailed finish, a wine best enjoyed from late 2026 through 2031+."

Reviews for the 2023 vintage below…

94/100 David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, January 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"A wine from Central Otago – with organic fruit from Bendigo Pisa in the blend as well – 2023 was a great vintage for Central Otago. A pale silvery green colour in the glass. The perfume has stone fruit and citrus as its core elements, but also tarragon, hazelnut, fennel and oat biscuit. The saline acidity leads a wine that is quite powerful and rich through the palate. Some tannin and nutty oak also provide a base for that ripe fruit to shine. Creamy, almost buttery in texture, but balanced with a chalky minerality that adds depth and the whole is quite rounded and harmonic. A fine effort, with a very long, unctuous finish."

93/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, August 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"This is a juicy and powerful wine. Lots of stone fruit, apricot in particular, aniseed, chamomile and dried flowers, some biscuitty oak and nougat. It’s rich, a bit slippery and viscous, has a good cut of citrus acidity, has some powdery grip, some brioche and buttered peach, with a rich and fruity finish of excellent length. As my Mum used to say, to paraphrase, this is not backwards in coming forwards. It’s a lot of wine, but it’s hearty and very good. Intense. Flavourtown here we come. I reckon a lot of people will love this."

Peregrine Wines crafts a diverse range of wines including Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Riesling, Sparkling, and their pinnacle offerings. The winery’s commitment to excellence is evident through its careful selection of fruit from three distinct Central Otago sub-regions: Bendigo, Pisa, and Gibbston.

Bendigo, with its warm, dry climate and diverse soil types, yields high-quality fruit ideal for robust Pinot Noir with dark fruit notes. Gibbston’s cooler, elevated vineyards produce elegant Pinot Noir with red fruit flavours and a refined profile. Pisa, known for its steady climate, supports the growth of balanced Pinot Noir, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc.

Peregrine embraces organic farming principles to ensure the highest fruit quality and environmental sustainability. This approach enhances soil health and vine resilience, contributing to the unique character of each vintage. The McLachlan family's hands-on involvement and dedication reflect in every bottle, embodying their passion for Central Otago. Additionally, Peregrine’s conservation efforts support New Zealand’s native bird species, demonstrating their commitment to environmental stewardship alongside their winemaking excellence.
