All class for the Amisfield Pinot Noir. True to their reputation as one of the Central's finest Noirs Amsifield is was a great decision from founder John Darby to move the sheep along, and turn this 200ha sheep station into a world class wine station. Without wanting lose contact with nature the winery contours with its rustic surroundings, and the award winning bistro, designs their dishes from local fishermen, hunters, gatherers and farmers - sourced within 250km of the restaurant. You'll find this Noir married to dishes like southland beef or pumpkin seed and oil. Its a soft plush Noir full of dark cherries, plums and hints of spice to layer it up. A silky texture brings it home with just enough grunt to see it age for another decade should you a have the will power.
Unlike Bo and Luke Duke this is one Boss Hogg you want to keep running into. Sourced from three of South Australia's best Shiraz growing regions then combined to generate a full bodied juicy Shiraz.
Fermenting in big 300l barrels for flavour - i'll give you one guess what the name of those barrels are?
