Amisfield Central Otago Dry Riesling 2018

Tasting Notes: Pretty aromatics of jasmine and lime sorbet leading to a palate with mandarin, florals and a brilliant rush of lively acidity. The Riesling grapes were gently pressed and the crisp and freshing juice was allowed to settle on lees for 48hrs. The juice was fermented cool using selected Alsacian yeast and a pied de cuve was used to naturally ferment a portion of the blend. The Wine was matured on light fluffy lees for 5 months before bottling NZ

Amisfield Winery: Amisfield was established in 1988 and is a Central Otago based specialist producer of Pinot Noir and aromatic white wines. Sourced from fruit grown on their Single Vineyard Estate. Situated beneath the glacially sculptured Pisa mountain range. The vineyards are managed holistically through organic practices focused around nurturing Amisfield’s unique 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. Set in the beautiful surrounds of Central Otago, New Zealand, they prefer to let nature and the talents of their skilled team do the work.
