Very pale straw colour with a grassy, green plum and grapefruit nose; medium-bodied, crisply dry with green plum and elderberry flavours carried on racy acidity. Well-balanced with great length. A joy to drink.
Perfumed potpourri of spices, with sultry raspberry, strawberry jam, lavender, baked rhubarb, pink peppercorns all flooding the medium bodied palate, one sharpened with a balsamic note and finishing with a flush of warmth. Tannins are gentle and soft on a downy cushion. Easy to like, and an accessible entry into pinot without being dumbed down.
Highly aromatic grassy herbal scents, gooseberry and a subtle hint of passion fruit lead the way for generous gooseberry-led green fruit flavours backed by incisive mineral, bright acidity and an elegant passion fruit lift on the finish.
Wild Grace is not the winemaker but refers to “the rugged beauty of the landscape surrounding the Hawke's Bay vineyards.” Pale straw in colour, this Chardonnay has a smoky, toasty nose with spicy oaky notes; it's medium- to full-bodied, richly extracted with spicy citrus and apple flavours melded with toasty oak. A beautifully balanced wine.
Pencarrow is Palliser’s soft/easy-drinking range of wines. This Pinot Noir, which exemplifies said style, offers up sweet cherry, plum, liquorice, red flowers, vanilla and baking spice notes. Medium body, with good freshness and a good amount of fine-grained tannins. Lengthy with red fruit carrying the finish.
A well-priced Pinot with great character. Ruby-coloured with a spicy, cherry nose and a discrete oak aroma; medium-bodied, dry, elegant, black cherry and red plum flavours; lovely mouthfeel and a firm tannic finish.
Bright and zesty passionfruit, gooseberry, asparagus and hedgerow fill this classic Marlborough Savvy. 2015 marked the winery's 30th vintage, as well as one of the driest summers on record. That's felt in the concentration of this round, tropical-minded white, one clouded with lees and trailing with zesty and sour tangerine.
