Mud House Pinot Noir 75cl

Juicy cherry fruit, a little earthy swagger, and that cool-climate snap that makes you want another sip. Mud House Pinot Noir is the kind of New Zealand red you pour when you want flavour that keeps moving, not a one-note glass.

• Appearance: Bright ruby with a clear, glossy look and a gentle stain on the glass.
• Nose: Red cherry, raspberry, and plum, plus a light lift of violet, dried herbs, and a hint of forest floor.
• Taste: Tart red berries up front, then darker fruit and subtle savoury spice, with fresh acidity that keeps it lively and fine tannins that don’t bully your tongue.
• Body: Medium-bodied, with a silky glide that still feels energetic.
• Finish: Lingering red fruit and gentle spice, with a clean, slightly earthy fade that makes food taste better.

If you’ve ever found Pinot Noir either too light to care about or too heavy to drink, this lands in the sweet spot. It’s fruit-forward without being jammy, and it has enough savoury complexity to keep you curious. That’s the cool part about New Zealand Pinot, it’s all about brightness, lift, and those subtle earthy layers that show up as it opens in the glass.

Food-wise, go for anything that likes a red that won’t steamroll it. Think roast chicken, mushroom pasta, salmon, duck, or a cheeseboard where you’ve got something creamy and something nutty. It’s also a solid “bring to a dinner” bottle because it plays nice with a bunch of different flavours.

And yep, it’s a proper red wine from New Zealand, which means you’re getting that cool-climate energy in the glass, vivid fruit, fresh structure, and a finish that doesn’t quit.

Fun Fact: Mud House is known for sourcing fruit across New Zealand’s standout regions (including Marlborough and Central Otago), blending site character to build that layered Pinot feel without turning it into a science project.
