Palliser Estate Martinborough Riesling 2022
- Dry style
- Partial barrel-ferment
- Lemon sorbet
- Racy acidity
"It’s exquisite and elegantly composed, showing white flesh nectarine, lemon sorbet, wet limestone and floral nuances on the nose, followed by finely focused palate delivering awesome fruit concentration and persistency. There’s a whisper of sweetness, combined with racy acidity, leading to a sustained structured finish. At its best: now to 2035" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2022
"Fragrances of flowers and citrus, a core of mineral with silty soils notes and fine stone soil qualities. Absolutely delicious on the palate with an invigorating mouthfeel and core fruit flavours of citrus and a touch of lime, fresh apple and quince. High acidity, contrasting and salivating mouthfeel. Great drinking from 2022 through 2032+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2022
Pale lemon, nearly transparent. Classic varietal nose of apple, lime and rose blossom, a hint of honeydew melon and lemon. Crisp, clean and spine-tinglingly dry, the wine has an ethereal delicacy thanks to its modest 11.5% alcohol and fine acidity. The texture calls to mind wet river stones and oyster shell, building to an exquisite finish full of freshly squeezed lime and mandarin.
55% of the fruit from our organic vineyard Om Santi the balance split 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 5.4g/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. Ever versatile as most Rieslings are, this will go well with sashimi or oysters, as well as Cajun food, Vietnamese and Thai.
