Palliser Estate, tasting note (fusws.api.aspedia.io – linket fra palliser.co.nz, hentet 2026-10-19): 2021 Palliser Estate Pinot Gris – druer: Pinot Gris; alkohol 14%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Pinot Gris 2021 Palliser Estate Pinot Gris 2021 A rich, concentrated off-dry Pinot Gris with a fresh mouthfeel. Pale lemon with excellent clarity. Off-dry to taste, this is an unctuous and textured style of Pinot Gris, showing an array of apricot, pear and apple flavours, with a kiss of baking spice for good measure. Textured and almost oily in the mouth, such is the weight and richness of the wine, this has a zippy acid line that refreshes the palate and keeps you coming back to the glass for more. 60% of the fruit from the Pencarrow Vineyard, 28% from our organic vineyard Om Santi and the balance from the Clouston Vineyard. The fruit is harvested and has 3 hours skin contact to aid in extraction of aromas and flavour. The grapes are gently pressed, tank fermented to 4g/litre of residual sugar adding weight. A portion is fermented in old french oak barrels adding complexity. The two portions are then blended and aged for a further 2 months on lees gaining texture before bottling The nose is both seamless and expressive; pear, apple and spice notes play quietly alongside a layer of honeysuckle and essential oils.. A perfect match for roast pork or most sweet and sour Chinese dishes, this is a versatile wine that can stand up to a little heat. Enjoy young or cellar for the medium term to let the richness fully express. Best now until 2029 WINEMAKER Guy McMaster Picking Date: April 2021 Alcohol: 14.0% Bottled: July 2021 Vegan friendly
