A haunting, heady aroma of wild strawberries and crushed rose petals herald Muddy Water's muscular Pinot Noir

From a single vineyard, Hare's Breath unites the old and new world with its elegance and concentration. The floral nose is accompanied by a powerful palate of sour cherries and tobacco leaf. With its supple grip this wine is a perfect accompaniment to food.

Hare's Breath Pinot Noir Muddy Water 2009

"A dense, silken-textured and powerful Pinot made from organically grown grapes in an intensively planted vineyard on limestone-based soils. Big, potentially complex wine. 18.5/20."

International Wine Awards 2011

This refers to the 2010 vintage:

"Lighter in style and picked earlier than the regular Muddy Water label. Edgier and more aromatic, with an appealing subtlety but certainly not lacking in power. Supple and elegant, capturing the charm and feminine side of Pinot Noir. Delicious"
