Although known for its fine Pinots, Martinborough also produces a number of well-balanced white wines.

This wine has a pleasant aroma of citrus and herbs and a mineral aftertaste.

It goes well with dishes that combine the umami of seafood with the bitterness of vegetables, such as salads made with scallops or salmon. It is also good with fried horse mackerel and fried chicken.

Excellent balance of SB

Approximately 80% of New Zealand's Sauvignon Blanc comes from Marlborough, but this wine is made in Martinborough , a region world-famous for producing high-quality Pinot Noir.

Martinborough wines often have different nuances than Marlborough, and this wine also has a somewhat subdued impression.

It has a strong citrus aroma, but rather than being a "powerful, fruity wine," it is more of an elegant wine that goes well with food.

It has a strong flavor of passion fruit and lemon, and also has a slightly bitter peel-like taste.

The distinct acidity of citrus fruits like lime and lemon is layered with gentle herbal nuances like chervil, making it very pleasant.

This is not just a fruity wine, but also has a strong minerality and a sense of depth.

Recommended pairings

We recommend pairing it with seafood dishes such as scallops and salmon.

This wine also has a slightly bitter citrus nuance, so it pairs well with vegetables that have a slightly bitter taste, such as green salads, mizuna, green currants, lettuce, and asparagus.

Scallop and salmon salad

Add scallops or salmon to your usual salad and you'll be able to enjoy both the umami of the seafood and the bitterness of the vegetables.

Acquapazza

Acquapazza, packed with the delicious flavors of seafood, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and more, is a surefire pairing.

Fried Horse Mackerel

Wines with a sour taste go perfectly with fried foods and other oily dishes.

Chicken tempura

The crispy batter and delicious chicken meat go perfectly with wine.

About the Palliser Estate Winery

Palliser Estate is a leading winery in Martinborough, Wairarapa, that has been producing premium wines for over 20 years. The first vines were planted in 1984 and the estate was established in 1989.
