Palliser Estate, tasting note (fusws.api.aspedia.io – linket fra palliser.co.nz, hentet 2026-10-19): 2018 Palliser Estate The Rosé Méthode Traditionnelle – druer: Pinot Noir 100%; alkohol 12.5%. Producentens noter (engelsk): The Rose 2018 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. Pours a pale salmon with a copper hue, the bead delicate and persistent. Dry to taste, the wine is crisp, effervescent and fresh, dancing on the front palate before fattening out into a creamy, biscuity middle. The architecture of the acid keeps the palate focused, conveying the array of luscious orchard fruits towards the long, refreshing finish. 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 2020 A complex and lively bouquet of wild raspberry, cherry, red currant and rose petals, with just a whiff of freshly baked bread crust and dried Mediterranean herbs. Best enjoyed up to 6 years from vintage as a cleansing aperitif, or with canapes, smoked salmon or a crispyskinned roast chicken and ovenroasted tomatoes.
