The ‘Wild River' brand belongs to Mount Brown, owned by the Rutherford family in the Waipara Valley. The wines under the label incorporate fruit from the ‘Mount Brown' and ‘Limeloader' vineyards. While the ‘Mount Brown' site has Pinot Noir and some Riesling, the ‘Limeloader' site features Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Riesling and a little Tempranillo. Matt Deller, the Wine Programme Director for the Fine Wine Delivery Co. committed to the entire production of white wines from the 2011 vintage under the ‘Wild River' label, thereby obtaining a good price for the whole quantity purchase, which has been passed on to the final consumer. Matt Deller deems them "extraordinary value for money”. Here are my reviews of the wines. www.finewinedelivery.co.nz
