Palliser Estate Martinborough Riesling 2021
- Dry style
- Lemon blossom
- Subtle apricot
- Energetic acidity
Very pale lemon, nearly transparent. A bright and expressive nose showing acacia flowers, freshly cut apple, lemon blossom, lime and a hint of apricot. Crisp, clean and bracingly dry on the palate, the crystalline purity of the wine is the standout feature in its youth. An energetic acid line and wet-river stone minerality add length and texture, finishing with a whack of red apple and key lime.
67% of the fruit from our organic vineyard Om Santi the balancesplit between Pinnacles and Clouston Vineyards. The grapes are gently pressed with 20% taken straight to barrel the balance cold settled over night and then racked to stainless tank. The ferment in barrel is carried out by vineyard yeast with 7.8g/L of residual sugar in the tank portion. The wine is aged for a further 2 months on lees before bottling.
Food Pairing: Great as an aperitif or summer refreshment in its youth, the beauty of Riesling is its ability to age. If well stored, this will drink well for 15+ years, gaining honeyed complexity and classic kerosene notes over time. For now, enjoy it with Vietnamese food, or any Pacific Rim cuisine where the emphasis is on bold, bright flavours.
