Palliser Estate Martinborough Pinot Gris 2021
- Dry style
- Spiced apples
- Honeysuckle
- Textured
"Aromas and flavours of nashi Asian pears, white spices, yellow apple with an exotic white flower note. A silky cream texture with youthful acid line, core of fruit and luscious overall mouthfeel. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from day of purchase and through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Sep 2021
Pale lemon with excellent clarity. The nose is both seamless and expressive; pear, apple and spice notes play quietly alongside a layer of honeysuckle and essential oils. Off-dry to taste, this is a nunctuous and textured style of Pinot Gris, showing an array of apricot, pear and apple flavours, with a kiss of baking spice fo rgood measure. Textured and almost oily in the mouth, such is the weight and richness of the wine, this has a zippy acid line that refreshes the palate and keeps you coming back to the glass for more.
60% of the fruit from the Pencarrow Vineyard, 28% from their organic vineyard Om Santi and the balance from the Clouston Vineyard.
The fruit is harvested and has 3 hours skin contact to aid in extraction of aromas and flavour. The grape are gently pressed, tank fermented to 4g/litre of residual sugar adding weight. A portion is fermented in old french oak barrels adding complexity. The two portions are then blended and aged for a further 2months on lees gaining texture before bottling.
Food Pairing: A perfect match for roast pork or most sweet and sour Chinese dishes, this is a versatile wine that can stand up to a little heat. Enjoy young or cellar for the medium term to let the richness fully express. Best now until 2029.
