The Mud House wines encompass the Marlborough, Waipara Valley and Central Otago regions and capitalise on the varietal strengths of each region. The wines are ranged to the ‘Mud House’, ‘Sub Region Series’ and ‘Single Vineyard’ tiers, the latter the most distinctive, serving as the company’s flagships. The ‘Woolshed’ vineyard in Marlborough produces what is regarded as the finest Sauvignon Blanc for Mud House. It was planted in 2002 by Nev Gane who has overseen 11 vintages of Sauvignon Blanc from the site on hillside slopes in the Southern Valleys district. Here, I review the 2017 ‘Woolshed’ Sauvignon Blanc, made by Cleighten Cornelius. www.mudhouse.co.nz
