2008 MUD HOUSE
Waipara Riesling

Green/gold hints Ripe citrus in the orange/ mandarin spectrum with stone-fruit notes supporting. Broadly proportioned with a dry balanced finish and a citrus/ apple like acidity. After picking and pressing, the individual parcels were tank fermented at warm temperatures. At the end of fermentation the wines were racked off the heavy yeast lees and aged for four months prior to blending and bottling.

The balance was selected from from our Central Otago vineyard located in Bendigo. By mid March light rainfall and diurnal weather had settled, with cooler nights and daytime temperatures in the mid-20’s ideal for optimal ripening, and a sunny harvest. 100% Riesling Tank fermented and aged on light lees for three months.
