Peregrine Central Otago Pinot Noir 2015 $42.50
Sometimes people describe pinot noir as being ‘feminine’ and I think the Peregrine could absolutely be that. Feminine insomuch as she’s tall, tanned, has long, sand-dusted hair, listens to Iron Butterfly and refuses to wear a bra-type of woman. A fabulously feral female is what this wine is.

Thank the lord I did because this is superb stuff. Silky, fleshy and sewn together with elegantly … Read More
