About Palliser Estate Pencarrow Pinot Noir 750mL
Palliser Estate's Pencarrow Pinot Noir is a beautifully expressive expression of Martinborough terroir. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of fresh red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose petals, underpinned by subtle hints of forest floor and warm spice. The palate is silky and refined, delivering bright red fruit flavours — raspberry and cranberry — alongside a gentle earthiness and a whisper of toasted oak. Fine-grained tannins provide elegant structure without weight, while lively acidity keeps the wine fresh and food-friendly. A wine that balances New World fruit generosity with Old World restraint.
