Muddy Water Pinot Noir 2017
Deep, dark plum colour in the glass, with a nose of red and black cherry, plum and florals. Dark fruit, vineyard elements and oak spice shine through beautifully into a textural palate. Full bodied, elegant, juicy and perfectly balanced.
Certified organic from predominantly ungrafted vines, managed by hand with limited irrigation. Planted in a variety of clones on calcareous clay soils on the gradual Omihi slopes. Long stretches of hot, dry weather produced optimum fruit ripening at harvest. Hand-picked early morning while fruit was cold, small quantities of intensely flavoured and perfectly ripened fruit delivered to the winery.
After picking, the fruit was carefully hand sorted in the winery before destemming into small open top vats for a wild fermentation. The wine was plunged daily by hand and allowed to sit for a month on skins before pressing into French oak barriques for 14 months ageing. This wine was estate bottled without fining or filtration.
