Palliser Estate Wines PALLISER ESTATE Red 2021 Martinborough
Description
Viticulture
93% of the fruit comes from our organic Hua Nui, Pencarrow and Winery vineyards, with the balance from our Palliser vineyard.
Vinification
The fruit is handpicked with 10% whole cluster. A period of cold soak followed by wild fermentations and gentle pumpovers and plunging. The wine is pressed to French Oak barrels and left to mature for a period of 10 months during which time it undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften the wine and add complexity before bottling.
Wine aging
Drink between now and 2036
Tasting notes
Opulent and rounded with silky tannins, plump cherry fruit and stylish, charred French Oak, this is a generous and cuddly style of Pinot Noir. Behind all the pomp and circumstance, the wine does have a serious side too, as one can see from the architectural tannins and incredible length.
