Description
Medium ruby, lighter around the rim. An intense, brooding nose of black cherry, plum, eastern spice and charcuterie; a gentle hint of forest floor and a kiss of lightly charred French Oak. Rich, velvety and full-bodied, the palate is weighty and supple, supported by tannins as fine and delicate as chiffon. The finish lingers long, revealing further layers of spiced cherry complexity. Juicy and approachable in its youth, yet wonderfully poised and balanced, all the elements of concentration, length and balance are in place to reward cellaring. 
--------THE PRODUCER--------

Palliser Estate

Palliser has established an enviable reputation as one of Martinborough and New Zealand’s premier labels. The first vineyards were planted in 1984 and the vines display fruit of great intensity.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir produces some of the world's most expensive, most lauded, rarest and delicious wines. Equally it is one of the most difficult grapes to grow successfully and as a result it is quite hard to make a balanced Pinot Noir. It is historically from Burgundy, most specifically in the Cote de Nuits, so much so that people will refer to Pinot Noir as a 'Burgundy'.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Martinborough

Martinborough is the region just north of the New Zealand capital city of Wellington at the base of the north island. It is Pinot Noir country down here without a doubt with a growing interest in aromatics and Bordeaux varietals. The stars are Ata Rangi, Dry River and Escarpment but there is a solid handful of excellent producers in this warm region.
