| Pinot Noir |
| Muddy Water is a direct translation from the Maori place name: Wai = Water + Para =Mud. Focused and elegant, the Muddy Water Pinot Noir is beautifully balanced and has a bouquet of black cherries with savory notes. The palate, too, shows dark cherries and red fruit, and would marry well with lamb and game. The vineyards are located on the sunny slopes above the Waipara Valley on New Zealand's South Island. This region has cold frosty winters and warm dry summers, and boasts a classic Burgundian type of terroir: loamy soil over calcareous clay on limestone bedrock. Accredited by NZ Sustainable Winegrowing. Cold soaked pre-fermentation for up to 6 days, native yeasts, manual cap management, 11 -20 days on skins. After pressing, wine was racked to oak barrels & aged with full malolactic for 15 months before racking, blending and bottling. Received 92 Points at the NZ Wine Fair in Sydney |
