Palliser Estate Limited Information

Palliser Estate is a boutique vineyard with an international outlook. For over two decades our people have been carefully looking after our corner of New Zealand. Proudly owned by a small number of loyal and passionate New Zealanders was planted in 1984, one of the pioneers of the Martinborough region. Martinborough only produces 1% of New Zealands’ wine but is synonymous with growing making great wine. Acclaimed Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay, vivid Sauvignon Blanc, and elegant aromatics are all produced in this most southerly Wairarapa sub-region, which boasts free-draining soils and a cool, dry climate. With our organic vineyard programme under the careful eye of head Winemaker Guy McMaster, Palliser has excitingly begun a new era with the aim to make iconic wines that link us to our Martinborough home in every sense. We have six vineyards situated on the revered Martinborough Terrace, 35% of which are under organic management (3 vineyards certified under BioGro NZ) with the aim to take this to 100% by 2025. All our wines are 100% estate grown. Were the first CEMARS certified winery in the world – 2009 (CEMARS certification is for emitting industries to measure their greenhouse gas emissions). We have a stylish cellar door open 7 days a week, all year around, providing a warm welcome and great selection of wines for tasting – whether its’ a personal tasting through our range, or a leisurely lunch enjoyed in our Summer Restaurant or in the beautiful courtyard and park like surrounds.
