2019 Amisfield Pinot Noir
Set against the backdrop of the majestic Pisa mountain range, Amisfield is one of the largest single estate vineyards in Central Otago. This ripe, weighty style of Pinot Noir saw approximately 10% whole bunch fruit included in the ferments with maturation taking place in tight grain French oak for a period of 15 months.
Matured in French oak barriques. Dark red in colour with black tinged edges and a red to dark red hue. Pronounced spicy ripe dark cherry, plum and wild strawberry scents intermingle with traces of anise, dried herbs, forest floor and cedar. The rich mid weighted palate is flooded with intense dark to black cherry, plum and anise flavours. Subtly toasted cedar, dried herb and forest floor elements ensue. Fleshy mouthfeel with polished tannins. Excellent power finishing long and spicy.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
