Palliser Estate Pencarrow Sauvignon Blanc 2024

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 finish.

It's perfect with dishes that combine the umami of seafood with the bitterness of vegetables, such as salads made with scallops or salmon. It's also great with fried horse mackerel and chicken tempura.

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 passion fruit and lemon flavor, with 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 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 slightly bitter vegetables such as green salads, mizuna, green currants, lettuce, and asparagus.

Scallop and salmon salad

Add scallops or salmon to your usual salad to enjoy the umami of seafood and the bitterness of vegetables.

Acquapazza

Aquapazza, 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.

Since Alan Johnson, now a leading figure in the New Zealand wine industry, became chief winemaker in 1991, the winery has won numerous awards both at home and abroad, including the London International Wine Challenge.
