Amisfield Wine Company is a Central Otago based specialist producer of Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines created from fruit grown on their Estate vineyard beneath the Pisa Mountain range in the Cromwell Basin, Central Otago.
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.

Stringent yield management practices deliver concentrated fruit flavour, consistency and complexity derived from the range of soils found on the vineyard.
Amisfield is an accredited and committed member of the New Zealand Winegrowers’ Sustainable Winegrowing Programme centring on a quality management system and environmental sustainability.
Amisfield Sauvignon Blanc embraces the best in old and new world winemaking. A wine of subtle power and complexity.
Pale straw in colour with aromatics typical of a lively New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The wild fermented barrel component adds another dimension of ripe stone fruit aromatics with subtle creamy notes and texture across the palate with refined minerality.
This is a serious Sauvignon that is ideally suited to fresh seafood or with artisan cheeses such as chevre.
Tasting Notes:
A great expression of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with aromas of gooseberry and passionfruit with a tight and fluid palate heightened with a touch of barrel fermentation.
