The 2022 Palliser Estate Pencarrow Pinot Noir from Martinborough, New Zealand is a true expression of the terroir. Its vibrant ruby red colour hints at the intensity to come. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, and earthy notes of forest floor mingle with subtle hints of spice. On the palate, this wine offers a medium body with silky tannins and a well-balanced acidity. Flavours of juicy red berries, dried herbs, and a touch of smokiness lead to a long, elegant finish. The 2022 vintage showcases the perfect ripeness and complexity of the grapes, resulting in a beautifully structured and nuanced Pinot Noir. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to see this wine evolve and mature. Pair with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or a selection of aged cheeses for a truly satisfying experience.
Critic Reviews
Erin Larkin - Wine Advocate
The 2022 Pencarrow Pinot Noir leads with lemongrass and pomegranate, saffron and nutmeg. In the mouth, the wine is herbal and lean, with a powerful back palate of concentrated flavor. The wine tastes very ripe through the finish, with dried fig and date and goji berry, with a suggestion of warmth from the alcohol. Drink it sooner rather than later to capture the freshness. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Winemakers Notes
VITICULTURE 73% of the fruit from our Pencarrow Vineyard, 24% from Woolshed vineyard and the balance from the Pinnacles vineyard.
WINEMAKING A period of cold-soaking followed by predominantly wild ferments with gentle pump overs and plunging. Pressed to oak barrels and left to age and soften through Malo-lactic fermentation and gain complexity over 10months.
