Reviews of the 2010 Mud House South Island Pinot Gris

Reviews

Review by Ray Jordan for The West Australian 2nd July

2010 Mud House South Island Pinot Gris. A blend of Marlborough, Nelson and Waipara pinot gris from the South Island. Really enticing mix of Granny Smith apple, cinnamon and pear on the nose. The palate has a certain viscosity with rich lees influencing flavours. It's creamy with just a touch of acidity to liven up the long flavoursome palate. Excellent example of the variety. 93 Points.

Boutique Winery’s Medal Tally Continues to Grow

Awards and Accolades

The 2009 Waipara Hills Equinox Waipara Pinot Noir has picked up a gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2011, while three of its other wines – the 2010 Waipara Hills Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, the 2009 Waipara Hills Central Otago Pinot Noir and the 2009 Waipara Hills Waipara Pinot Noir – were commended by the competition’s judges.

Our Marlborough 2010 Sauvignon Blanc keeps on winning

New Zealand's Sauvignon's have always been favourites worldwide, and we have long been known as one of the best places to aquire one from. To prove that, our Waipara Hills 2010 Sauvignon Blanc has captured 5 medals including gold and 2 silvers, and we are sure it wont stop there. It follows our tradition of sav's with a generous palate full of rich tropical fruit combined with nettle and snow pea flavours, providing crisp acidity and a long finish.

Our 2009 Central Otago Pinot Noir truely satisfies

The Wine Front, Garry Walsh had this to say about our Central Otago 2009 Pinot Noir after giving it 93pts "Rich cherry fruit, a little like jam, only not so sweet along with spice and some earthy beetroot flavours. It's medium bodied but envelopes you with a big hug of Central Otago generosity tinged with a little bitterness via dried herbs and bitter chocolate. Balanced acidity and alcohol with fine tannin and a long dry finish. Goes long on drinking satisfaction and value. It's the sort of wine you can easily settle in for the nigh with, if you take my meaning."
