Amisfield's 2008 pinot gris has been singled out by Decanter, a prestigious United Kingdom wine magazine, as one of 10 exceptional latest release New Zealand wines.
The Decanter recommendations follow NZ Wines recent Summer New Release tasting in London, an exclusive event attended by leading United Kingdom media, retail and trade buyers.
Amisfield general manager Fleur Caulton said she was excited about the outstanding result for the winery's Central Otago vintage.
"This sort of recommendation is so important for us.
"Decanter has a huge following and is the wine bible for many wine enthusiasts in the UK.
"It is the first time Amisfield has been selected by Decanter and the response we are already receiving underlines the significance of this rating."
Decanter described the Amisfield 2008 pinot gris as "rounded and full with a soft, finely spiced cloak around lines of cool minerality".
The Amisfield 2008 pinot gris was made from fruit grown at the Amisfield Wine Company's vineyard at Lowburn in Central Otago and produced at the company's high-end production facility at the Lowburn site.
