Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Pale lemon color. Lifted aromatic nose of snow pea, citrus, and passionfruit. A beautifully balanced wine. The front palate fills with fresh greens and ripe tropical flavors. The crisp grapefruit-like acidity extends the palate to a long mouth-watering finish.
Perfect with aromatic Vietnamese chicken pho.

Professional Ratings

    Nicely done and perfect for the everyday marketplace, the delectable 2016 Mud House Sauvignon Blanc comes through with soft grapefruit flavors that stay smooth through the wine's finish. Pair this wine with red tuna sashimi. (Tasted: November 27, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

    Ruby grapefruit, peach and apricot notes are intense, fragrant and fleshy, with good focus on the finish, where the flavors linger and a hint of honeysuckle kicks in. Drink now.

Mud House, New Zealand
Mud House Cleighten Cornelius - Winemaker Winery Image

It began as an adventure. The Mud House founders were a courageous couple who set sail to travel the world, only to arrive in Marlborough and fall in love with the place. After preparing the land and planting vines, they used the local earth to build their home - a mud house. That home became the brand.

 Twenty years on, Mud House remains as in touch with the land as the name suggests.

The soils and climate on New Zealand’s rugged and breathtakingly beautiful South Island give Mud House wines their iconic New World intensity. The winemakers nurture those expressive flavors with skill and patience, taking the time to craft wines they are proud of.

 Mud House makes consistently beautiful, sustainably-produced, award-winning wines for people who are curious about new experiences and who embrace fresh ideas. Celebrate your taste for adventure.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

An icon and leading region of New Zealand's distinctive style of Sauvignon blanc, Marlborough has a unique terroir, making it ideal for high quality grape production (of many varieties). Despite some common generalizations, which could be fairly justified given that Marlborough is responsible for 90% of New Zealand's Sauvignon blanc production, the wines from this region are actually anything but homogenous. At the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, the vineyards of Marlborough benefit from well-draining, stony soils, a dry, sunny climate and wide temperature fluctuations between day and night, a phenomenon that supports a perfect balance between berry ripeness and acidity.

The region’s king variety, Sauvignon blanc, is beloved for its pungent, aromatic character with notes of exotic tropical fruit, freshly cut grass and green bell pepper along with a refreshing streak of stony minerality. These wines are made in a wide range of styles, and winemakers take advantage of various clones, vineyard sites, fermentation styles, lees-stirring and aging regimens to differentiate their bottlings, one from one another.

Also produced successfully here are fruit-forward Pinot noirs (especially where soils are clay-rich), elegant Riesling, Pinot gris and Gewürztraminer.
