Palliser Estate, tasting note (fusws.api.aspedia.io – linket fra palliser.co.nz, hentet 2026-10-19): 2017 Palliser Estate The Rosé Méthode Traditionnelle – druer: Pinot Noir 100%; alkohol 12.5%. Producentens noter (engelsk): The Rose 2017 This elegant wine is made in the traditional method from 100% Pinot Noir and aged on yeast lees for 2 years giving it a beautiful creamy complexity. Pale pink with a salmon hue and a delicate bead, lighter towards the edge. Dry to taste, a delicate effervescence on the front palate conveys red fruits and raspberry liquorice, with a creamy mousse and biscuity sweetness fleshing out the middle. An energetic acidity binds everything together, finishing long, clean and refreshing. 100% Pinot Noir with 40% Abel clone coming off the Martins Vineyard, the remainder clone 5 from the Pinnacles Vineyard. The wine undergoes complete malolactic fermentation and is aged on primary lees for 6 months then tiraged and left for 18 months on lees in bottle before being disgorged in March 2019 Strawberries and cream up front, before a suggestion of fennel and rose petals over a basket of summer red fruits, from cherries to Satsuma plum and raspberry. As the wine warms, there is a distinct aroma of freshly baked pastry. WINEMAKER Allan Johnson Enjoy up to 8 years from vintage with canapés, risotto, oven baked salmon or a creamy brie. Picking Date: March 2017 Alcohol: 12.5% Bottled: May 2019
