Palliser Estate Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

Pale ruby. A savoury, structured and beautifully layered Pinot Noir, with a nose of black and red cherries, raspberry, mulberry, dusky florals, anise and freshly mown summer hay. 

An enticing, entrancing nose of black cherries, raspberry, smoky oak, pomegranate and star anise.

Silky and supple on the palate, full of black forest fruits and savoury, dried herb complexity, the finish is long with more than a hint of French elegance and savoirfaire. A Burgundian style of Martinborough wine for the true pinot lover.

Juicy and expressive with lavish helpings of cherry and spice, a wall of velvety tannins enveloping your palate to remind you of its future potential. Fine, piquant acidity refreshes as the long, complex finish lingers long after you’ve swallowed. An elegant and complex style of Pinot, showing off our Palliser terroir.

The fruit is a blend of Clones 667, 777, 115, 10/5, MV6 and Abel. All handpicked with 5% 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.
