Muddy Water Deliverance Waipara Pinot Noir 2018

Description

Light ruby red in colour, this Pinot Noir reveals layered aromas in the glass of red summer fruit, florals and spice. The palate is juicy and bright, with soft tannins and a long flavoursome finish. 

North Canterbury grows some of New Zealand's most coveted wine grapes. We sourced the Pinot Noir grapes from two North Cantebury vineyards. These were predominantely from Dijon clones. The vines are spur-pruned and carefully managed to allow dappled light into the fruit zone, which assists with retention of natural acid and delicate aromatics. 

The Deliverance Pinot Noir was wild fermented in small lots and manually plunged for natural colour and tannin extraction. The young wine macerated on skins for four weeks before pressing to French oak for natural malolactic fermentation and maturing for 10 months before blending and bottling onsite. 

Food Pairing: Pairs well with a wide range of food.
