The reputation — the story that sells at the table

Palliser Estate is cited by James Halliday (Wine Companion) and Wine Advocate as one of Martinborough's essential producers — their Riesling and Pinot Noir both achieving 90-94 points from major critics. Palliser demonstrates that Martinborough's versatility extends beyond Pinot Noir to produce New Zealand's finest North Island Riesling and a compelling alternative to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Practice
Palliser Estate is Martinborough's largest producer — a 65-hectare estate established in 1989 on the historic terrace. Chief winemaker Allan Johnson has led a quality revolution at the estate, producing Martinborough's most complete wine portfolio: single-vineyard Pinot Noir of Burgundian elegance, complex dry Riesling of German mineral precision, and Sauvignon Blanc that rivals Marlborough while maintaining the terrace's characteristic structure. Their Pencarrow range provides approachable entry points while the Palliser Estate label delivers premium expressions for serious collectors. The estate is Martinborough's most food-diverse wine producer.
