Pale lemon, bright and clear. Delicate, fresh and fragrant, with notes of fresh lime, Granny Smith apple and mandarin, dancing with white floral notes of jasmine and carnations. Off dry and lip-smackingly tart on the entry, the clarity of ripe citrus fruit is breathtaking. Flooded with acid, fruit and minerality, the wine has a pleasingly astringent finish that goes on for days, wak-ing up your taste buds as the perfect aperitif.
Palliser Estate Riesling from Martinborough is a zesty, playful Riesling with a cool-climate twist, crafted by the fun-loving folks at Palliser Estate, a winery that takes their wine-making seriously but never themselves. Known for its elegant, distinctive wines, Palliser Estate has infused this Riesling with all the good vibes of a laid-back Martinborough afternoon.
On the nose, it’s like a citrus fruit party—think lime, lemon, and a little green apple mingling with a delicate touch of white blossom. Take a sip, and you’re hit with refreshing flavors of lemon sherbet, juicy grapefruit, and just a whisper of honey. Bright acidity keeps it lively and mouthwatering, while the minerality adds a crisp, clean edge, making it perfect for those who enjoy Rieslings with a bit of attitude.
This Riesling is a great companion for Thai takeout, spicy tacos, or a cheese platter that you may or may not be willing to share. Whether you’re sipping solo or cracking it open with friends, it’s a wine that brings a little fun to any occasion.
