Amisfield Sauvignon Blanc captures the wild beauty of Central Otago’s alpine terroir. Organically grown on the estate’s glacial terraces, it delivers purity, intensity and a vibrant balance — a sophisticated expression of this southern Sauvignon style.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Intensely aromatic with ripe passionfruit and delicate notes of lemongrass, fennel and elderflower. The palate shows beautiful concentration and drive, with a juicy, textural mid-palate framed by bright acidity. A touch of barrel-fermented wine adds depth, length and subtle creaminess.

The result is a wine of tension and clarity — a reflection of Amisfield’s organic, minimal-intervention philosophy and its extreme alpine climate of hot days, cool nights and pure mountain air.
