OUR WINES
Mud House Waipara Riesling 2010
SORRY THIS WINE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
Our winemaking is a simple affair...we want the fruit flavours to shine, not the winemaking. After picking in the cool of the night and gently pressing, the individual parcels are fermented at warm temperatures with specially selected yeast strains. When the balance of the wine is just right, the tank is chilled and remains on light yeast lees for 3 months. The tank is then racked and blended and fined using natural methods before bottling.

WINE BACKGROUND
VINTAGE REGION
This single vineyard wine is solely sourced from the Mud House Mound Vineyard in the Waipara Valley. The gravely soils and Waipara’s dry north west wind creates the perfect spot for growing Riesling.
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
The Waipara growing season began with cool but stable weather through flowering. A wet and cool summer gave way to beautiful, consistent warm weather from late February onwards. This extended ripening period has resulted in wines of superior quality, concentration and length.
GRAPE VARIETY
100% Waipara Riesling
MATURATION
Matured on light lees for up to 3 months. 100% stainless steel.
