Palliser Estate wines

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.
