Tasting notes:

Golden yellow in colour. The bouquet shows luscious yet intense and rich aromas but with a wonderful zest. Beautifully expressive ripe fruit without being too heavy, lifting notes of orange rind and mandarin compliment the richer flavours honeycomb, guava, apricot and marmalade.  

About the wine:

Produced in the Martinborough region of New Zealand, known for its cool climate and long, sunny days during the growing season that help to develop the wine's unique character. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected, then left to hang until they become overripe and full of sugar. The result is a wine with rich flavors of dried apricots, honey, and candied citrus peel, along with vibrant acidity that balances out the sweetness.  

About the producer:

Pioneers and part of New Zealand’s wine-growing heritage, Palliser estate harvested their first grapes in 1989 and started exporting in 1991. Ever since they have won world-wide recognition for the consistency and outstanding quality of their wines, picking up a whole string of competition gold medals (eighty to date) along the way, not to mention the accolade of being voted Exporter of the Year by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise.

To capitalise on the fabulous terroir here, the sun-baked terrace, the old river plain and loamy free-draining soil, the estate has a highly-skilled winemaker/viticulturist in Allan Johnson who has been with Palliser since 1991. This dual role allows him to have complete control of the wine-producing process from grape to bottle. The philosophy here is to work towards high quality fruit and produce wines of elegance and a sense of place, in as environmentally friendly a way as possible. The success of their wine-producing policy gained recognition in 1998 when they one of the first three wineries in the world to be certified to International Environmental Standard ISO 14001.

Food match:

Rich deserts, blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, chocolate or on its own.
