The Mount Brown label offers some of the best quality to price ratio wines from North Canterbury. Catherine Keith and her father Tony Rutherford own three established vineyards and have the benefit of older vine material. They have Frank Manifold as their winemaker, a very experienced operator who manages to turn out very smart wine even in challenging vintages such as 2017. The brand has been marketed very positively, and prices have been retained at very reasonable rates. The 2018 vintage was a more favourable one than 2017, and here, I review the 2018 Mount Brown Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. www.mountbrown.co.nz
