Palliser Estate White Label Pinot Noir 2020

I love it when wines that I have never come across find their way onto the tasting bench. This Palliser Estate Pinot turned up recently and what a joyous Pinot it is. A fabulous example of Martinborough Pinot Noir.

Palliser Estate White Label Chardonnay 2020

 

Martinborough is a gem in the New Zealand landscape that doesn't get the same attention as some other more fancied regions. This White Label is only available in Australia - perhaps the kiwis have sent the better gear over the ditch?

Craggy Range Te Muna Road Pinot Noir 2017

 

Only two Craggy Range wines have graced these pages over the years. I spied this on the shelf when in search of beer at an independent retailer on the Gold Coast. For $44 I just had to have a looksy. And I'm pleased I did. What a superb Pinot Noir from New Zealand's Martinborough region!
