Tasting Notes

A vibrant and elegant Pinot Gris. The aroma shows delicate white flowers, nashi pear, white peach, and red apple, accented by a touch of sweet spices (cardamom and clove). The palate is driven by a fresh acidity that leads into a juicy, textural mid-palate, benefiting from gentle sweetness and a barrel-aged portion. Our hallmark Pisa minerality provides a clean finish.

Sophisticated Central Otago Pinot Gris showcasing distinctive Pisa minerality and elegant barrel integration — exceptional quality from single-estate fruit.

Why you'll love it: a Pinot Gris with more to say than most — gentle sweetness and barrel texture make it a genuine food wine, not just an easy quaffer.

The Vineyard

The dramatic high country landscape with its continental climate and schist soils creates the perfect environment for cool-climate viticulture, producing wines with distinctive Pisa minerality.

About Amisfield

Established in 1988 beneath the Pisa Range, Amisfield has grown into one of Central Otago's defining estates, specialising in Pinot Noir and aromatic whites from a single vineyard. A minimal-intervention philosophy lets the site's character carry through, and the estate has been fully certified organic by BioGro New Zealand since 2021, following a conversion begun in 2015. It's a genuine, restaurant-quality expression of its place.

Perfect with roasted pork tenderloin, creamy seafood risotto, or soft goat's cheese. The wine's elegant texture and subtle spice complement rich, creamy dishes whilst the fresh acidity balances beautifully.
