A deliciously crafted silky Pinot Noir. Lovely typical colour, a benchmark nose of crushed raspberries with a touch of oak, and a rounded, complex palate.
Mansion House Bay was formed in 1993 and by Greg and Sue White, and winemaker, Simon Waghorn. Their aim was to establish a winery in Marlborough producing premium quality varietal wines. To achieve this they have brought together a leading New Zealand winemaker, a dedicated group of growers, and a small modern winery facility where top quality fruit can receive the 'hands-on' treatment that it needs to achieve its full potential.
Pinot grapes are hand picked, gently crushed and left to macerate on shins for a brief period. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel before being transferred to barriques for its final period of ageing and development.
