{"product_id":"2025-mulline-sutherlands-creek-pinot-noir","title":"2025 Mulline Sutherlands Creek Pinot Noir","description":"\u003cp\u003eSutherlands Creek is the warmest site in the Mulline Pinot lineup, but the soil - fragmented granite over grey loam - produces the lightest wine of the bunch. Winemaker Ben Mullen attributes this paradox entirely to the granite, which trades the region's typical weight for high-toned fragrance and a finer skeleton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 release features a 30% whole-bunch component and spent eight months in French oak. Mullen uses the Abel clone here (famed for its supposed origins from DRC), which adds a savoury, structural edge to the bright red fruit. It’s a site that rewards Ben’s \"feet on the ground\" approach to value, offering the kind of complexity usually reserved for much more expensive labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Rich awarded it 97 points, noting it is \"beautifully fragrant from the get-go.\" While the 2024 was more wound upp, this vintage is open and silky, balancing brambly spice with a gentle, mouth-filling texture. It is a poised, mineral-driven Pinot that prioritises elegance over power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The palate is gently mouth-filling with silky tannins that make it a pleasure to drink now but will also ensure it continues to become more complex over the next five to seven years.\" \u003cbr\u003e- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Mulline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56142126383476,"sku":"zma1789959103750","price":27.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2025-mulline-sutherlands-creek-pinot-noir_1.webp?v=1789959109","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2025-mulline-sutherlands-creek-pinot-noir","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
