White

New Zealand

From vines planted between 1999 and 2005 on low-yielding gravelly soils of the lower terraces of Amisfield’s estate vineyard. Grapes were hand-harvested and wholebunch pressed before fermentation and ageing on wild yeast lees in French oak barrels, 20% of which were new, for 16 months. There was no stirring, but the wine was allowed to go through a partial malolactic fermentation. Roger Jones: Oak is showing but carried well with nice toasty nectarines, hazelnuts, gently herbaceous notes and caramelised pineapple. Fresh textured citrus cleans the palate. Freddy Bulmer: Oak is clear though not at all overpowering, bringing another layer of aroma to the fruit and rounding things out. Complex and focused. Cat Lomax: Nice concentration. Ripe, rounded passionfruit and citrus, hints of dried mango. Creamy texture, juicy acidity. Sustained.
