Amisfield has built up a superb reputation for producing the quintessential Central Otago Pinot Noir.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Concentrated notes of black doris plum, star anise and spice combine with classic Central Otago dark fruits. Framed beautifuly by an earthy savouriness and mineral edged acidity, this wine is complemented with fine oak and fruit tannin. Great concentration, complex flavour structure with a long lingering finish."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2021 Vintage)
"Cameron Douglas MS- Many classic attributes greet the nose for this Otago Pinot Noir with a bouquet of ripe and richness, there’s no mistaking the variety with dark cherry skin and black currant, a savoury dried herb quality and layers of barrel spices and some toasty wood smoke qualities. Ripe, firm, dry and complex as the wine touches the palate, flavours of wood smoke and black currant, thyme, rosemary and wild dried herbs. Tannins deliver a firm coarse chalky mouthfeel while acidity layers in back bone and squeeze. A wine of complexity and charm, a wine also of youth needing cellar time to harmonise and integrate completely. Lengthy and well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2035."
94/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2021 Vintage)
"Bob Campbell MW- Concentrated wine with ripe cherry, plum and raspberry flavours together with nuances of floral and fresh herb flavours supported by moderately assertive tannins. Accessible now and with the potential for bottle development. "
