Mud House Pinot Noir 2023 is sourced exclusively from the Claim 431 Vineyard in the Bendigo sub-region of Central Otago — one of New Zealand’s most celebrated addresses for Pinot Noir. Free-draining loam soils over schist gravel, combined with the dramatic diurnal temperature variation that defines Central Otago, produce fruit of exceptional structure, concentration, and aromatic purity. Smooth, elegant, and built to age beautifully over the next five years.

Appearance

Bright garnet with the clarity and vibrancy of a well-made Central Otago Pinot Noir.

Aroma

Fragrant cherry aromas are complemented by savoury herb notes and a hint of delicate oak spice — an expressive and inviting bouquet that speaks directly to the Bendigo sub-region’s distinctive character.

Palate

Ripe cherry and bramble flavours combine to create a smooth and elegant palate of real finesse. Soft tannins and refreshing acidity contribute texture and structure, leading into a long, juicy finish that lingers with genuine persistence.

Pairs With

Thai-style cucumber salad with barbecue duck — as matched by the Mud House kitchen. Equally at home with roasted salmon, duck confit, mushroom risotto, and soft-rind cheeses.
