Amisfield Pinot Gris 2019

A luscious and textural expression of Pinot Gris. Aromatics burst with pear, quince and a hint of white florals. On the palate the wine is concentrated with a touch of sweetness complementing the intense flavour while retaining the characteristic freshness of our Estate’s aromatic white wines./p>

Amisfield's unique terroir and unforgiving environment produces wines of remarkable purity, intensity and vibrancy. Hand harvested, fermented in tank and naturally in large and small format French oak.

Amisfield was established in 1988, a Central Otago based specialist producer of Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines created from fruit grown on the estate vineyard beneath the Pisa Mountain range in the Cromwell Basin. This privately owned company's 200ha property, once a prominent high country Merino station, is one of the largest single vineyard estates in the Central Otago region. Over 80ha is currently planted with the majority of the vines being over ten years old. A state-of-the-art purpose built winery is the focal point of the vineyard and produces 20,000-30,000 cases of wine annually. Pinot Noir accounts for over 60% of the production with the balance made up of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Riesling.
