Amisfield

Amisfield Dry Riesling 2014 Central Otago
Ripe, sweet citrus aromas with lemon juice, fruit and peel all in play; lots of green apple and stony mineral suggestions follow with a touch of lime flower. On the palate - dry, fresh, firm and youthful with a delicious core of fruit lead by lemon and lime with a hint of grapefruit and bucket load of Granny Smith apple; ripe contrasting acidity, moderate yet noticeable mineral tones and a lengthy crisp finish with a just a little phenolic action.

Amisfield Lowburn Terrace Riesling 2014 Central Otago
Sweet citrus aromas with mandarin and tangelo suggestions; red and green apple tones and a sherbet icing sugar layer adding a little complexity and charm. On the palate - off dry with noticeable sweetness contrasted and balanced by citrus flavored acidity and wet stone mineral tones. Juicy, fresh and lengthy finish - a delicious wine to wind down with at the end of hot day.

Amisfield Pnot Gris 2015 Central Otago
Generous of fruit bouquet with layers of light almost sweet spice and white pepper; plenty of fleshy tree fruit aromas with green pear and red apple suggestions; forward, balanced and inviting. On the palate - lush, fruity, balanced and fresh; flavours of Asian pears and sweet red apple laced with a little cool climate white pepper; some texture from a hint of skin contact adding just enough phenolics to make the wines complexity increase enough adding length to the finish. Lovely flavor and balance.
