Tasting Notes

A barrel selection from our beloved blocks 7 and 7C. Our first parcels to convert to organic practices back in 2015. Dark fruit intensity. There is savouriness, spice and silky mouthfeel. The palate is complemented by a mineral streak that allows the wine to evolve in the glass.

Amisfield's premier single-block Pinot Noir — concentrated, organic and built to age.

Why you'll love it: a serious, age-worthy Pinot for a special occasion — give it time in the glass, or a few years in the cellar, and it keeps unfolding.

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 roast lamb, venison, or duck breast. The wine's savoury depth and fine tannins stand up to rich game whilst the mineral streak keeps everything fresh.
