Mud House Waipara Valley Riesling 2022
Description
- Off-dry style
- Mandarin
- Honeysuckle
- Mineral texture
Pale lime. Vibrant aromas of mandarin and orange blossom are complemented by the sweet suggestion of honeysuckle. A juicy and generous wine, with refreshing citrus flavours that beautifully balance the natural sweetness. Lingering minerality provides texture and draws out to a long, dry finish.
The fruit for this vivid Riesling was sourced from blocks at our Deans and The Mound Vineyards in the Waipara Valley. Gravelly loams over alluvial subsoil in the Waipara region offers minerality and structure.
Waipara experienced some rain during flowering and a couple of chilly frosts to make for a dramatic start to the growing season. It did settle though and the summer months were hot and dry, allowing the fruit to ripen and develop beautiful flavours. At the time of picking, the fruit was pristine and bursting with luscious flavours.
After delivery to the winery the grapes were gently pressed. Once pressed, only the free run juice was settled and fermented with a range of yeasts at cool temperatures for three weeks. The wine was then racked off lees and chilled for three additional weeks before blending and bottling.
Food Pairing: Crispy calamari with chilli and lime mayo.
