The 2007 Pencarrow Chardonnay is a little simple on the nose: touches of brioche and creme brulee. Tightly coiled. Tropical fruits on the entry with mango, Seville orange and a touch of spice, nice build in the mouth, good acidity, fresh and very focused towards the finish. Excellent.One of Martinborough’s finest exponents, I think Palliser Estate deserve as much attention as the likes of Ata Rangi and Martinborough Vineyard because these wines deliver time and time again. Their Pencarrow range offers affordable entry-level wines that offer great value.Importer: Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-0993; fax (707) 259-1510
