Palliser Estate Pinot Gris 2024

Palliser Estate’s Pinot Gris 2024 is a beautifully expressive wine shaped by the cool-climate precision of Martinborough’s famed terrace soils. Hand-harvested fruit is gently pressed and fermented in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned oak barrels, with a portion undergoing wild ferment. Lees ageing adds savoury depth and texture, while the style remains firmly dry and food-focused—elegant, layered, and true to place.

Bouquet

Fragrant and sophisticated, the bouquet offers nashi pear, baked apple, and jasmine, underpinned by hints of ginger, citrus peel, and a touch of almond. A whisper of white pepper and wet stone brings lift and detail.

Palate

Refined and textural, with a dry backbone and a silky mid-palate. Pear, apricot, and soft spice unfold over a creamy lees texture, balanced by crisp acidity and a long, mineral finish. A Pinot Gris with finesse and quiet intensity.

Food Pairing

Perfect with pork tenderloin and apple purée, creamy pasta with mushrooms, or grilled haloumi with roast vegetables. Also lovely with chicken and tarragon or a soft cheese board.

Cellaring

Outstanding now for its vibrancy and precision, but will cellar well for 4–6 years, gaining added savoury nuance, honeyed depth, and silky complexity with time.
