Palliser Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2008

• In my humble opinion better than Cloudy Bay - by some way.
• Just as good as the Decanter Silver Medal winning 2006 vintage.
• Given its quality this is a steal! You could add another fiver a bottle and it still wouldn't be bad value for money.

We Say...

The only way to describe Palliser is that it tastes like a tropical fruit punch has exploded in your mouth! Palliser combines elderflower, grapefruit, mango and gooseberry, with a piercingly refreshing streak of lime. The highly acclaimed 2006 vintage was "New Zealand's most successful Sauvignon Blanc" and we think the 2008 is just as good. So don't compromise, go straight for the best.

Best wine I've had from virgin

This wine was undrinkable. We had no choice but to feed it to the rats.

I will definiately buy this wine again. Full of flavour, zingy, and yes, it gives Cloudy Bay a run for it's money!
