Discover the elegance of Palliser Estate Organic Riesling 2024, crafted with precision and passion in the heart of Martinborough, New Zealand. This expressive off-dry Riesling white wine showcases a bright, citrus-driven profile with exceptional purity and balance.
Sourced from certified organic vineyards, including 42% from the renowned Om Santi vineyard, with the remainder from Pinnacles and Woolshed vineyards, this vintage is a true reflection of sustainable winemaking. After gentle pressing and overnight cold settling, the juice is fermented in stainless steel with selected cultured yeasts. The ferment is stopped at 5.2g/L of residual sugar to beautifully balance the wine's natural acidity.
Aged on lees for two months, this vegan-friendly Riesling develops enhanced texture and complexity before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
Pale lemon in colour, clear and vibrant. The nose is fragrant and floral, with aromas of fresh lime, Granny Smith apple, and mandarin, layered with hints of jasmine and carnation. On the palate, it opens with a zesty, mouth-watering acidity that is harmonised by ripe citrus and mineral undertones. The off-dry style delivers a clean, crisp finish that lingers beautifully, perfect as an aperitif or food wine.
Food Pairing Ideas:
Pair this versatile New Zealand organic Riesling with fresh seafood, Thai or Vietnamese cuisine, or herbaceous dishes featuring coriander and mint. A brilliant companion for summer gatherings, light dinners, or simply sipping solo.
Palliser Estate Wines is a trailblazer in New Zealand’s premium wine industry. Nestled on the renowned Martinborough Terrace in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand’s North Island, Palliser Estate has been crafting exceptional small-batch wines since harvesting their first grapes in 1989. By 1991, they were proudly exporting globally and quickly earned international acclaim for their world-class, sustainably produced wines.
With a long history of excellence, Palliser Estate has earned numerous gold medals in international wine competitions and was named Exporter of the Year by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise. In 1998, Palliser became one of the first three wineries worldwide to be certified under the ISO 14001 International Environmental Standard, reflecting its deep commitment to sustainable wine production.
Spanning across seven premium vineyard blocks on the unique Martinborough Terrace, Palliser’s vineyards thrive in a terroir shaped centuries ago by the Ruamahanga and Huangarua Rivers. The region’s stony silt loam soils and free-draining ancient river gravels create the perfect environment for growing elegant and expressive Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay wines. Despite a climate that poses challenges, strong winds and frosts, the wines produced here are intensely flavoured, beautifully balanced, and truly reflective of their terroir.
Whether you are shopping for organic Martinborough Pinot Noir, boutique New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, or small-batch Chardonnay from Wairarapa, Palliser Estate offers premium wines that combine tradition, innovation, and sustainability.
