Mud House Core Range Hawke’s Bay Merlot 750mL

Classic Hawke’s Bay Merlot with mocha spice and dark cherries.

Once harvested, the fruit was brought into the winery where it was de-stemmed into a stainless steel fermenter. The fermentation took 10 days, during which it was pumped over twice a day to help extract colour, fruit flavour and tannins. The wine then went through a full malolactic fermentation in stainless steel before being fined using natural methods prior to bottling.
