Mud House SV Dambuster Pinot Noir 2016
Trust your Taste
Red berries and dark cherry are joined by savoury spice in this single-vineyard Marlborough Pinot Noir. The producer describes fine, silky tannins and juicy freshness, with oak adding a gentle savoury layer. Consider it if you enjoy Pinot with generous fruit and a softer texture.

Behind the bottle
From a north-west-facing site at Mud House’s Woolshed Vineyard in the upper Wairau Valley, below the Delta Dam.
Hand-picked fruit was cold-soaked for a week, fermented with indigenous yeast, then matured in new and older French oak for 12 months with natural malolactic fermentation.
