Vintage kicked in through the second and third weeks of April. Every clone and block was picked and handled separately in the winery, de-stemmed and soaked for up to a week until indigenous yeasts begain fermentation. We then plunged the ferments with 'Bigfoot', the latest addition to the winemakers' toy cupboard, which proved extremely useful during those late night punchdowns. Each ferment was gently pressed and run off to tight grained French Oak barrels and matured in our underground cellars at Lake Hayes. After Malolactic fermentation in the spring the wine was racked and the blend made for this Amisfield Pinot Noir. The style is classic Central Otago Pinot, showing concentration from ripe fruit & low yields, complexity from the range of vineyard components, and texture from well handled fermentation and maturation. Drinking well on release we are confident this wine will improve with careful cellaring for up to 5 years from vintage.' (12 x 75 cl)
