Rocky Knoll

2006 Central Otago Pinot Noir

Amisfield Rocky Knoll is a captivating expression of Central Otago's unique terroir, showcasing the elegance of the 2006 vintage. This Pinot Noir is beautifully red in color and presents a stunning bouquet of ripe cherries, wild berries, and subtle earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance, being medium-bodied with a bright acidity that invigorates the senses. The tannins are refined and well-integrated, lending a soft structure that complements the wine's fruit intensity, which is both prominent and inviting. The finish is delightfully dry, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and spice that entices you to savor every sip. Enjoy this wine with a rich duck dish or a platter of artisanal cheeses to enhance its charms.

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
