Mud House

Mud house, so named because of a mud block house located in the founding vineyard, was started in 1996 and has grown rapidly, now producing 90,000 cases per year. Owned by four families, they have 400 hectares of vineyard in Waipara, Nelson, Marlborough and Otago, with local production facilities in each. The winemaker for the Pinot Gris is Nadine Worley, an Australian graduate of Adelaide who has worked throughout Australia and in Italy. This Pinot Gris saw three months lees ageing and no oak and is quite full, rich and spicy, with an underlying minerality.
