Amisfield Méthode Traditionelle Brut

Amisfield Méthode Traditionelle Brut is a pure expression of Central Otago finesse — elegant, mineral-driven, and deeply reflective of its alpine terroir. Crafted from estate-grown Pinot Noir, this organic sparkling wine captures the balance between nature’s purity and artisanal winemaking. Its refined, low-dosage style offers a crisp and contemporary take on Méthode Traditionelle.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Delicate white florals and a whisper of minerality lead to a palate layered with toasted brioche and citrus sorbet. Time spent on lees during tirage adds complexity and texture, while the low dosage enhances its purity and tension. A vibrant, aperitif-style sparkling with an elegantly persistent mousse and a finish both refreshing and precise.

Craftsmanship & Story

Amisfield’s Méthode Traditionelle Brut embodies the winery’s “nurture nature” philosophy. Hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes from estate vineyards are whole-bunch pressed to capture only the purest juice. Secondary fermentation and extended lees ageing develop fine bubbles and depth, while a minimal dosage preserves vibrancy. Certified organic and sustainably crafted, it reflects the clarity and precision of Amisfield’s high-altitude terroir.
