Bob Campbell rates Amisfield Riesling an 'Outstanding Wine'
"An unusual, distinctive and impressive Central Otago Wine"
Bob Campbell rated Amisfield's 2007 Lowburn Terrace Riesling as an outstanding wine in the current issue of Gourmet Traveller Wine. It was awarded 96 on the 100-point scale.
"From a very stony, low-yielding site in the Lowburn Terrace area of Central Otago. The grapes were selectively picked relatively early in the season and the fermentation was stopped to produce a moderately sweet wine with a low alcohol of only 7.5 per cent. Delicately luscious wine with a great array of ripe stone fruit flavours - predominantly apricot and nectarine. Very succulent but with a beautiful backbone of ripe acidity. An unusual, distinctive and impressive Central Otago Wine."
