Mud House Sub Region Marlborough Pinot Noir 2019

Description

• Sweet oak spice
• Dark cherry
• Bramble berries
• Soft tannins

A rich, ruby red colour in the glass with aromas of dark cherry and berries with subtle sweet oak spice. Soft dark fruit is followed by a hint of savoury bramble berries on the palate, while a juicy acidity and soft tannins offer a lingering finish.

Sourced from The Narrows, located at the narrowing of the upper Wairau Valley with lovely north facing aspects. The coolness of the area combined with the airflow created by the river allows a longer, slower ripening season.

Grapes were hand picked, then gently destemmed, followed by a week long cold soak. Each parcel was fermented using indigenous yeast, then hand plunged to extract vibrant flavour and delicate tannin structure. The wine was finished using traditional methods.
