Amisfield Pinot Gris

Amisfield Pinot Gris captures the essence of Central Otago’s alpine purity — fragrant, textural and beautifully poised. Grown organically at the foot of the Pisa Range, this elegant white expresses the region’s stony soils and crisp mountain air through layers of pear, peach, and spice balanced by luminous minerality.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Delicate aromas of white flowers, nashi pear, and red apple mingle with white peach and a whisper of cardamom. The palate is fresh and silky, unfolding ripe stone fruit and gentle spice, enriched by barrel-aged texture. A hallmark thread of Pisa minerality lends precision and a long, graceful finish.

The result is a Pinot Gris that balances purity with textural depth — a true reflection of its mountain home and Amisfield’s “nurture nature” philosophy.
