2008 MUD HOUSE
Marlborough Pinot Noir

Bright ruby red. Subtle aromas of berry fruit compote and sweet spice. A soft palate with fresh bright red fruit and subtle spice flavours. The palate lingers with delicate acidity. After arriving at the winery the grapes were gently destemed to open fermenters. After a five day cold soak the fermentation was started with a mix of wild and cultured yeast. The grapes were hand plunged or pumped over twice a day to extract the colour, flavour and tannin structure. After pressing, each parcel was kept separate for maturation.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from selected Marlborough vineyards in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys. 2008 started with a superb summer in Marlborough - perfect ripening for a bumper crop. The geographic spread of Mud House’s vineyards gave us some stellar Pinot Noir fruit. A rewarding harvest. 100% Marlborough Pinot Noir.
