Central Otago, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2014 Amisfield

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc.
Region: New Zealand> Central Otago.
Notes: Sustainable farming. Natural yeast. Oak barrel fermentation. Estate bottled.


If you are a fan of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, try this wine this time. This is a bit different and serious Sauvignon Blanc from the Otago region (not the dominating Marlborough region). Amisfield embraces the best in old and new world winemaking. A wine of subtle power and complexity. Pale straw in color with aromatics of cilantro and passionfruit, typical of a lively New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The natural yeast fermentation in French barrels for four months adds another dimension of ripe stone fruit aromatics with subtle creamy notes and texture across the palate with refined minerality.

Food Pairing: versatile from white meat to fresh seafood, or with artisan cheeses such as chevre.
