Mud House Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Mud House Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, vibrant expression of Marlborough, packed with crushed citrus, ripe grapefruit and fresh snow pea. Juicy acidity gives the wine plenty of energy and length, while its concentrated fruit and lightly textural palate make it more satisfying than a simple, sharp Sauvignon Blanc. Bright, dry and immediately refreshing, it is an easy choice for warm afternoons, casual gatherings or the dinner table. Serve well chilled with seared scallops, crispy calamari, fresh fish, goat's cheese or salads dressed with citrus and herbs.

What the winery says:

The fruit was sourced from Mud House's Woolshed Vineyard in the upper Wairau Valley. Each vineyard batch was kept separate, gently pressed and cold settled before the clear juice was racked and inoculated with selected yeast. A cool, carefully monitored fermentation preserved the wine's freshness and aromatic character. Once balanced, the wine was chilled and racked from its yeast lees, then rested in stainless steel before blending, fining and filtration. Pale straw in colour, it shows pure aromas of crushed citrus, snow pea and ripe grapefruit. Concentrated citrus and fresh snow pea fill the palate, supported by juicy acidity and a long, refreshing finish.

What the experts say:

Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 (2024 Vintage)
"More herb-and-tropical flavors flow on the dry, textural palate. Balanced, layered and food friendly."
