Palliser Estate Pencarrow Pinot Noir 2021

The nose explores the higher octaves of the Pinot Noir range, showing expressive aromas of red fruits and florals. Cranberry, raspberry, crushed strawberry all feature, before being rounded out by rose petal and charcuterie. The palate opens with a rush of raspberry, cherry and anise, an unmistakable Martinborough regional signature coming through in the sappy, savoury Pinot Noir characters. The mid-palate is garnished with fresh sage, adding complexity and interest to the mouthful of juicy summer red fruits. Beautifully fine and silky with a fresh and detailed acid line, the expressive fruit is buttressed firmly by a wall of finely rendered tannins. A juicy and expressive Pinot Noir with enough savoury interest to please even the most dedicated Pinot lover.

Best enjoyed in the first 4 years after vintage, it will also be perfect with a light chill on a summer’s day. A versatile food wine, it works particularly well with pork or lamb, as well as Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine.
