Product Code: MUD110

Named after a mud block house which was built in the original vineyard, the Mudhouse Wine Company, founded by former Essex farmer John Joslin, produced its first wines in 1996. Current winemaker, Nadine Worley, is Australian born but loves cool climate winemaking - especially Sauvignon Blanc. The Estate Sauvignon is just so consistently reliable that it really is the benchmark here. The fruit for this wine was sourced from the Mud House Vineyard in the upper Wairau Valley, and from selected growers in the Awatere, Ure, and Wairau valleys.
