$370.00

Amisfield Pinot Noir 2022 by Amisfield in Central Otago’s Pisa sub-region opens with lifted aromas of wild raspberry, black cherry and subtle rose petal. The palate shows the fine tannin structure and schist-driven minerality that define premium Central Otago Pinot, offering layers of red plum, thyme and delicate spice. A refined acidity carries the wine with elegance and precision. Recent acclaim includes 95 points from Bob Campbell MW and 94 points from Cameron Douglas MS, underscoring its class. This Amisfield 2022 Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast duck, mushroom risotto or seared tuna. It is drinking superbly now but will evolve gracefully over the next eight years. ABV 14 percent, closure: screwcap.

Description

About Amisfield Wines

Amisfield was established in 1988 and is a Central Otago based specialist producer of Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines, grown and produced on their single vineyard estate, situated beneath the glacially sculpted Pisa mountain range.

Amisfield’s vineyard is certified organic by BioGro New Zealand and viticulture is managed holistically with a focus on nurturing soils, vines and habitats – this, combined with a rugged inland location and an extreme semi-continental climate yields wines of remarkable purity, intensity and vibrancy.

A state-of-the-art, purpose-built winery is the focal point of the vineyard and is designed to enable winemakers to craft wines with minimal intervention and as naturally as possible.

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. –
