Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Straw in colour. The nose holds notes of citrus peel and jasmine tea. On the palate, juicy pink grapefruit and delicate flavours of fennel frond are complemented by refreshing amaro bitters edge to the mouthfeel from its short time fermented on skins. An energetic and vibrant flow to this wine with great versatility for food pairing.
A true expression of the style- Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Blanc were all picked on the same day from five different zones across the Amisfield vineyard covering both our upper terraces and lower flats. North, South, East and West a true field blend.
All fruit was hand harvested and co fermented together. The Amisfield Field Blend marries tradition and innovation, with elements of skin contact during ferment used to develop texture and a phenolic tactile edge. Purity of the wines aromatics was achieved through fermentation in neutral oak barrels and stainless steel. In all, there were four different approaches to fermentation with the four different varieties represented in each. The final wine was blended and aged on fine lees to take shape before being bottled in October of 2024."
