Palliser Estate Wines of Martinborough

Welcome

Our Story

Success is in the Martinborough landscape. Sun-baked hills, an old river plain and loamy free-draining soil. Qualities which place a high premium value on the grapes grown and harvested, and are part of the reason why this is one of the most exciting wine producing regions in New Zealand.

Add to that a belief in sound environmental practices, a devotion to crafted wine, a desire to be among the best boutique wineries in the world, and you find yourself at Palliser Wines.

Palliser displays leadership in developing systems which identify environmental impacts, set targets and objectives, and regularly review environmental and business performance.

In 1995, Palliser Estate was the first winery in New Zealand to achieve ISO 9002 certification. In 1998, Palliser Estate, along with Martinborough Vineyard, C.J. Pask Winery and Vidal Estate, were the first in the world to be certified to International Environmental Standard ISO 14001

The aim from the beginning has been to produce top quality wines which are international in appeal. Palliser produces two labels recognised around the world for quality and value: Palliser Estate and Pencarrow.

Accolades received both domestically and internationally would suggest we have got the mix of landscape, environmental management and viticulture right.

Gold at the London International Wine Challenge and the trophy for Sauvignon Blanc are among Palliser's most prestigious awards to date. Palliser Estate wines are also the choice of a number of top international airlines and are found on the wine list of some of the most prestigious restaurants around the world and locally such as Wharekauhau Country Estate, recently ranked in the top ten small resorts in the world."
