Mud House Sub Region Pinot Noir 2021
Trust your Taste
Dark cherries, berries and a little oak spice make this Marlborough Pinot Noir an appealing red to settle into over dinner. The fruit is soft and generous, with gentle tannins and enough juicy freshness to keep the finish lively. A savoury bramble note adds interest.

This sits comfortably in the middle for weight, with soft rather than firm tannins. The fruit feels rounded, while juicy acidity brings a fresh lift. There is a little savoury detail on the finish, so it offers more than fruit alone.

Behind the bottle
From The Narrows in Marlborough’s upper Wairau Valley, where cool conditions and river airflow support a long, slow ripening season.
Hand-picked fruit was destemmed and cold-soaked for a week, then fermented with indigenous yeast and hand-plunged for gentle extraction.
