This wine is made from vineyards in the Parkburn area of Cromwell. All the grapes are hand harvested and fermented in small lots in stainless steel tanks helping to retain fruit purity and finesse. The wine is full, dry and textural, it displays excellent fruit structure, intensity and mineral length.

Peregrine's Pinot Gris serves up some interest that goes beyond New Zealand's most famous white variety. Instead of kiwifruit and gooseberries, savour Pinot Gris' poached pears and red apples. There's some crisp acidity hiding in the back that keeps the palate fresh, with some mealy texture providing a nice mouthfeel.

The wine has a mild salmon pink colour which will develop further with time. It shows delicate aromatics of jasmine blossom and ripe melon with a dry palate that has abundant textural flavours of ripe apples and pear. The distinct citrus backbone will ensure the wine rewards aging for at least 5 years.

2017 Hentyfarm Pinot Gris Our Hentyfarm Pinot Gris is a story about an amazing vineyard site in Drumborg, Henty. Owned and tended by ‘biological farmers’ Jack & Lois Doeven. They had a terrible time in the beginning with the planting of Pinot Gris, having to re-plant twice back in the nineties. Hentyfarm was lucky to be allocated some of this precious fruit again in 2017 . This is the first Pinot Gris we have made working with Ray Nadeson at Lethbridge. He has really nailed it ! the style is in keeping with our wines as well as a clean textured finish. Colour : Light Golden colour with Pinky Silver highlights Bouquet: Perfumed Nashi Pear, honeysuckle and hay Palate: Crisp Green Apple and Pear flavours with some lime and grapefruit extending to the finish Cellaring: This wine is great for summer drinking, cold and fresh with chilli snacks and Asian style dishes.

Produced from our very best Roussanne and Marsanne fruit the aim was to produce a rich textural wine in a true Rhone blend style. This wine is a beautiful golden colour with fresh stone fruit and citrus flavours balanced with a fine acidity.
