The 2025 Palliser Riesling is a vibrant cool-climate white from Martinborough, New Zealand, showcasing the region's hallmark purity and precision. Crafted by Palliser Estate, this Riesling opens with lifted aromas of lime blossom, lemon zest and green apple, complemented by delicate floral notes and a subtle mineral edge that reflects its distinctive terroir.
On the palate, it is light-bodied with bright natural acidity and a beautifully balanced texture. Flavours of fresh lime, citrus, crisp apple and a touch of white peach lead to a clean, refreshing finish with excellent length and finesse, making it an expressive example of Martinborough Riesling.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent Riesling for those who enjoy bright, aromatic whites with lively acidity and mineral freshness. Best enjoyed well chilled over the next 5–10 years, or cellar to develop additional complexity. Pair with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, sashimi, Thai-inspired dishes or goat's cheese.
