Palliser Estate Riesling is beautifully scented, with intense lightly sweet lemon and lime flavours and a long, racy finish. Garden fresh, fruity and zesty, it bursts with varietal character. It is one of Martinborough's top white wines. At its best, it's a truly exciting mouthful. Michael Cooper - Classic Wines of New Zealand
A beautifully elegant and fresh Riesling bouquet showing lime and mandarin notes with a hint of mineral.
Bright pale green with a hint of straw.
Fragrant bouquet displays lime, floral and apricot characters.
The palate is delicately fruited showing a finely textured mouthfeel, bright acidity and a lingering juicy finish. It's beautifully balanced and poised to develop greater complexity with further time in the bottle but it's already delicious drinking now.
Palliser Riesling’s are hard to resist in their perfumed, flavour packed appealingly crisp youth, but they are proven performers in the cellar. After about three-year’s bottle age the wine evolves and rich, complex, honeyish, toasty aromas and flavours unfurl along side the varietal fruit flavours.
A very stylish Riesling already beautifully drinking and will age gracefully. At its best: now to 2017.
