The Amisfield estate is located in the celebrated region of Central Otago, the southernmost wine region in New Zealand. High altitude, cool climate, long summers, and clean soils allow Amisfield to produce some of the finest single vineyard Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines in New Zealand. Sustainable agriculture practices are employed and yields are kept to a minimum, resulting in powerful wines with remarkable concentration and complexity derived from a range of soils within the vineyards.

"Bathed and soft, delivering supple flesh and plenty of satisfaction, and this doesn't disappoint. Neatly spiced dark-cherry and plum fruits on the nose with some savory, meaty elements. The palate has a smooth, velvety spread of fine tannins, dark plums, mocha and blueberries to close" by James Suckling
