2000 Palliser Estate Martinborough Noble Chardonnay 375ml

Palliser Estate Chardonnay Noble—is a rare sweet wine from New Zealand’s Wairarapa region. While detailed tasting notes are scarce, we can infer its profile based on the style and grape variety:

Nose: Expect aromas of dried apricot, honeycomb, and orange marmalade, with possible hints of vanilla, almond, and a touch of botrytis spice (like saffron or ginger).

Palate: Lusciously sweet and viscous, offering flavors of candied citrus, baked apple, and caramelized peach. The Chardonnay base brings a creamy texture and subtle oak influence.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of toffee, citrus peel, and a soft nutty or oxidative edge from bottle age.This wine likely mellowed into a golden, honeyed gem over the past two decades—ideal for pairing with blue cheese, tarte Tatin, or even foie gras.
