Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Intensely aromatic with ripe passionfruit and more subtle delicate flavours of lemongrass, fennel and elderflower. The wine shows great concentration and drive, with a textural mid palate framed by succulent juicy bright acidity. The majority of fruit was cool fermented in stainless steel, with a small component of barrel fermented wine blended in for texture.

The grapes were harvested over a two-week period according to their flavour and aromatic profile using a combination of hand and machine harvesting. Individual parcels of fruit were destemmed and fermented separately at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, using selected yeasts. A small component was barrel fermented and blended in for texture."

91/100 Roger Jones, Decanter UK, November 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Attractive nose that is unmistakably Sauvignon Blanc, fresh, clean tropical notes with a racy acidity, fresh, zippy mouthful. Ripe and generous in style, but still with good, fresh acidity. The palate shows a good concentration of flavour, with some tropical fruit, kiwi and lime. Crystalline structure, very pure, unashamedly fruity while still having focus and freshness."

95/100 Judges Comment, Decanter World Wine Awards 2023 (2022 Vintage)
"Packed with vibrant grapefruit, peach and fresh herbs with a luscious texture and a zingy, citrus peel acidity. Precise and elegant with a crisp, lasting finish."

Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, December 2022 (2022 Vintage)
"There’s no mistaking the intense fragrant scents of Sb and some barrel fermented qualities with aromas of apple and grapefruits, lemon and peach, some banana passionfruit and quince scents and fresh herbs. Dry on the palate with a little more tropical fruit flavours then apples and citrus. A back bone of acidity highlights the power and intensity of the wine. Delicious, dry and fresh with a lengthy satisfying finish. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027+."

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Pisa mountain range, Amisfield is one of Central Otago's largest single estate vineyards. Inspired by childhood holidays in Central Otago, founder John Darby sought to master this breathtaking yet challenging high country, believing it ideal for cool-climate viticulture. After an exhaustive search, he discovered Amisfield Farm, a former merino sheep station, and planted the first vines in 1999. The vineyard thrives in a continental climate with cold winters, hot summers, and low rainfall.

In 2021, Amisfield completed a five-year transition to organic viticulture and was named Organic Vineyard of the Year in 2020 and 2022. Their philosophy is to nurture nature at every step, resulting in wines of exceptional purity, intensity, and vibrancy.

Designed by architect Charlie Nott in 2006, Amisfield's modern winery features a 600-tonne production capacity. Here, winemakers employ a hands-off approach, allowing nature to shape the wines.

Amisfield's organic vineyard produces wines with distinctive regional characteristics. Visitors to the Cellar Door can indulge in tastings of Pinot Noir vintages and a range of white wines, guided by passionate staff eager to showcase the unique flavours of Central Otago.
