Description

The  limited  time  on  skins  and  long  maturation  on  lees  has  given  a  very  pale  light  straw  colour  to  the  wine.  Aromas  of  peach,  citrus,  apple  brioche  and  hints  of  nuttinesss  lead  to  a  lively,  slightly  creamy  and  delicate  palate.

Weather  leading  up  to  harvest  was  one  of  the  driest  in  years  but  unstable  weather  during  harvest  was  not  ideal. Experiencing  frosts  and  intermittent  rain  events  followed  by  warm  damp  conditions. The  Pinot  Noir  grapes  were  hand-picked  and  whole  bunch  pressed  using  a  traditional  light  pressing  regime.  The  juice  was  fermented  cool  in  stainless  tank  and  in  barrel  to  dryness  which  was  followed  directly  by  malolactic  fermentation.  The  wine  was  matured  on  lees  without  sulphur  until  tiraged  early  2017. Stored  on  lees  until  first  disgorement,  November  2018.

The  Pinot  Noir  grapes  for  our  Brut  are  grown  on  vigorous  soils  however  the  cool  climate  keeps  ripening  slow  and  acids  high.  The  perfect  combination  for  selection  for  sparkling  base.

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Pisa mountain range, Amisfield is one of the largest single estate vineyard in Central Otago. Their simple philosophy is to nurture nature at every step and our hands-off approach means that our process takes time, with our wines yielding exceptional purity, intensity and vibrancy.
