With heat waves continuing into January we were tracking well ahead of any previous harvests. Some storm events in February could still not halt the rapid ripening of the grape berries and we started our harvest the first week of March.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cem\u003eSeal: Screw Cap - Alc: 14.5%\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e1 x \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmisfield Central Otago Pinot Noir Rosé 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tA pale salmon pink, classically Pinot Noir Rosé in colour.

Rain and strong wind through November and December impacted flowering, reducing yields. This was followed by a warm and mild January which helped develop healthy canopies. At harvest, nighttime temperatures plummeted, dramatically slowing the pace of ripening. This helped retain bright acidity, and allowed picking to extend from mid-March until mid-May. The small crops ensured great concentration of flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cem\u003eSeal: Screw Cap - Alc: 13%\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e1 x \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmisfield Central Otago Pinot Gris 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tA luscious and textural expression of Pinot Gris.
