Luminary

Palliser Estate's - The Luminary

Our Luminary wines are designed and produced with the consumer in mind and areonly available from your local Supermarket. Try these wines, and then explore the rest of our range byclicking throughto the Palliser Estate website.

The range showcases three of New Zealand’s most popular wine varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc - primarily sourced from Palliser’s vineyards in Martinborough, with some components of the Sauvignon Blanc sourced from Marlborough. These wines have been made by chief winemaker Guy McMaster who is a passionate advocate for regeneration and organics. He is a firm believer that if you look after the land it looks after you — for conscious consumers and wine lovers that translates to better quality wine that treads lightly on the earth.

Under McMaster’s leadership, 60% of Palliser Estate’s vineyards are under organic management with the goal that 100% of Palliser's wines will be organic by 2025. We say cheers to that!

Along with being sustainably produced, The Luminary wines are vegan friendly, and packaged in lightweight recyclable glass.

What’s in a name:

The sunshine hours and clarity of the Wairarapa skies are signature traits of Martinborough. Things grow differently here because of it. Taste these wines and you get a taste of our sun-kissed home, and pioneering spirit. Hence the name The Luminary.

The Manuka flowers adorning the gorgeous labels also have a back story. If you visit Palliser Estate you’ll find Manuka trees dotted around the vineyards — They are known as a symbol of healing but most importantly they help feed their vineyard bees and add a touch more goodness to their honey. Bees all over the world are under increasing pressure but are crucial little workers who help pollinate the plants that produce all that we eat and drink. At Palliser, along with the organic conversion program, we have a bee program to keep our smallest workers safe.
