Palliser Estate Rosé 2018

Original price was: $25.54.Current price is: $22.99.

Bright, very pale pink colour with suggestions of purple, very light on the rim. Dryish to taste and medium-bodied, the palate is softly presented with a gentle rounded and accessible core of deliciously bright strawberries and cream flavours with red florals and strawberry fruit pastilles. The flavours are aromatic and rich with the fruit sweetness balanced by soft, light, mouthwatering phenolic textures. The acidity provides background tension and the wine carries smoothly to a fragrant, floral finish with a little confectionary. This is a gently rich, dryish rose with soft strawberries and cream, floral and fruit pastille flavours on a mouthwatering, fragrant palate.

Palliser Estate planted in 1984 is one of the pioneers of the Martinborough region. Martinborough only produces 1% of New Zealands’ wine but is now synonymous with growing and making great wine. All our wines are 100% estate grown in six vineyards situated on the revered Martinborough Terrace, 25% of which are under organic management with the aim to take this to 100% by 2025. Palliser which is locally owned has had a strong sense of connection to the local community since the beginning, one part being establishing the Martinborough School Computer Trust which is still going strong today. Also the introduction and sponsorship of the Karearea Falcon, an endangered native NZ bird who gladly assist the local wine community with pest control. With their organic vineyard programme under the careful eye of head Winemaker Guy McMaster, Palliser has excitingly begun a new era with the aim to make iconic wines that link them to their Martinborough home in every sense.

Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety that is known for its delicate and nuanced character. The grape is relatively difficult to grow, but when it is grown in the right conditions, it produces some of the finest and most sought-after wines in the world. Pinot Noir wines are known for their complexity and a wide range of flavors and aromas, which are often described as being "red" or "dark" fruit flavors such as cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, as well as earthy, spicy, and floral notes.

Pinot Noir wines tend to be light- to medium-bodied with a delicate structure and a moderate level of tannins and acidity. The flavor profile of Pinot Noir wines can vary greatly depending on where it is grown, for example, Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France, tends to be elegant and nuanced, with a focus on red fruit and floral notes, while Pinot Noir from Oregon and California tends to be more full-bodied and have a higher proportion of dark fruit flavors.

Pinot Noir is a wine that pairs well with a wide range of foods, particularly poultry, duck, pork and mushroom-based dishes. Due to its delicate character, it's often recommended to serve it slightly chilled to enhance its fruit and floral aromas, and to avoid overpowering the wine with strong or spicy foods.
