OUR SERVICES:
Gas Management
​
​At Peregrine, we protect the quality of every bottle using state-of-the-art technology. By integrating KH Tec Gas Management directly into our mobile bottling process, we provide an unparalleled level of precision that elevates wine quality to new heights.
We are the exclusive mobile bottling provider of these services to wineries and cideries. Our system is available as an integrated module with our bottling line or as a stand-alone service for tanker unloading and existing cellar transfers.
Our specialized setup precisely adjusts dissolved CO2, DO, and N2 levels for a variety of applications:
​
-
Tanker Unloading: Real-time gas adjustment during bulk transfers.
-
Filtration Integration: Seamless gas management directly following crossflow filtration.
-
Still Wine Optimization: Fine-tuning gas levels during the bottling process for better mouthfeel and shelf stability.
-
Inline Carbonation: High-precision, small-bubble carbonation of wine from non-pressurized tanks (up to 11 g/l of CO2) during bottling.
How Our Gas Management Works
Peregrine combines Bottling and Gas Management to enhance wine quality, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. By integrating these services, we eliminate the need for double-handling, providing a streamlined path from tank to bottle.
Our German-engineered KH Tec System utilizes 3M Liqui-Cel hydrophobic membranes and proprietary software to simultaneously adjust CO2, DO, and N2. Positioned between your tank and our filler, the unit manages all gas levels in a single pass as the wine flows through.
With this unique setup, we can adjust and/or carbonize still wine coming from a non-pressurized tank on its way to our counter-pressure filler. The KH TEC Gas Management skid, i.e., can safely carbonize at 55-58 ºF, which prevents condensation of the bottle. This enables us to safely apply your pressure-sensitive (PS) label right after filling and screw capping saving significant costs from, otherwise, double-handling of product.

“Peregrine’s Gas Management technology allows us to adjust CO2 and DO levels, helping us achieve the most aromatics and mouthfeel in our wines, thereby enhancing their freshness and longevity—all naturally.
​
We pay close attention to detail throughout the entire process, from farming to winemaking, and this final step ensures we bottle the best wine possible. Even a small adjustment can make a big difference—something we can taste right before it goes into the bottle. Those last-minute decisions are invaluable.

We trust Peregrine’s Gas Management services to enhance the quality of our Sonoma Coast Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir”
