Palliser Estate 2010
Riesling

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

Colour

Bright pale green with a hint of straw.
fragrant bouquet displays lime, floral and apricot characters.

Aroma

A delicate and youthful Riesling displaying lemon, flint and floral characters on the nose

Palate

The palate is refined and beautifully fruited showing elegant texture, a touch of sweetness and crisp acidity. A young wine but already mouthwateringly delicious.

Winemaking

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.
