Mud House ′Claim 431′ Pinot Noir 2017/20, Central Otago

Mud House are no one-trick pony. Their reputation for producing fantastic wine stretches far beyond Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. This is made in New Zealand’s Central Otago region, where the fussy Pinot Noir grape has found a perfect home in the mountainous, cool-climate terrain. It’s made from a single-vineyard in the prestigious sub-region of Bendigo. The Claim 431 Vineyard sits within an old gold-mining hillside, where ancient soils and cooling breezes benefit the vines. The resulting wine has an elegant structure, with pristine flavours and freshness. Vibrant. Fresh. Supple. Discover dark plum and ripe cherry flavours, with subtle hints of earthiness and woodspice. The lively aromas and acidity makes it a great match for a big bowl of fresh pesto pasta.
