HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Decanter Magazine September 2016 Angela Mount Moving onto a couple of reds - It's game season, and nothing works better here than Pinot Noir. A recent addition to the prolific Great Western Wine portfolio, is the award-winning Peregrine Wines, a family-owned winery situated amongst the wild countryside of New Zealand's southernmost wine region, Central Otago. Here, in the cool climate, Pinot Noir is king. Peregrine's Mohua Pinot Noir, named after one of the country's native birds, is a beautifully crafted, soft, yet uncompromising red. The aromas beguile the senses, with their heady scents of violets, plums and black cherries; the wine is rich, yet silky smooth, with bold, opulent flavours of dark berry fruit, wild herbs and a hint of milk chocolate, and black pepper. Seductive and elegant, this is definitely a winner with roast pheasant, wood pigeon, duck breasts and also mildly spiced Indian lamb dishes. Bath Magazine, November 2016
