Tasting Notes

Innovative Central Otago field blend with distinctive skin contact character and exceptional food versatility. Straw colour with aromatic complexity showing citrus peel and jasmine tea on the nose, revealing the sophisticated interplay of four aromatic varietals.

The palate delivers juicy pink grapefruit and delicate fennel frond flavours, enhanced by a refreshing bitter edge from short skin fermentation. Energetic and vibrant flow with remarkable texture and great versatility for challenging food pairings.

An adventurous, food-friendly skin-contact white from four aromatic varietals — textural, energetic and built for the table.

Why you'll love it: a wine for the curious — its gentle grip and savoury edge make it brilliant with tricky-to-match dishes that defeat ordinary whites.

About Amisfield

Established in 1988 beneath the Pisa Range, Amisfield has grown into one of Central Otago's defining estates, specialising in Pinot Noir and aromatic whites from a single vineyard. A minimal-intervention philosophy lets the site's character carry through, and the estate has been fully certified organic by BioGro New Zealand since 2021, following a conversion begun in 2015. It's a genuine, restaurant-quality expression of its place.

Perfect with spiced Asian dishes, roast pork belly, or a sharp washed-rind cheese. The wine's texture and bitter edge handle bold, aromatic flavours that trip up lighter whites.
