Mud House South Island Pinot Gris 2019 (New Zealand)

This Pinot Gris from Mud House was sourced from selected vineyards from Marlborough and the Waipara Valley, cool climate wine-growing regions in New Zealand’s South Island.

Carefully selected grower vineyards throughout the South Island of New Zealand. We choose vineyard locations that are situated on moderately fertile glacial soils. This includes a mix of sandy loam over very deep gravels; fertile loams and clays.

Once harvested, the grapes were gently pressed and settled in tank. The warm fermentation started with a handful of selected yeast strains. To add complexity and texture; a portion of the wine was fermented in old French oak barriques. After the completion of fermentation the wine was left to relax on light yeast lees to enhance structure and mouth feel. The wine was blended and lightly fined in June, then bottled in early July.

Drinking deliciously now, and will continue to reward for at least 3 years. Perfect with pork belly. Winery Notes
