Mud House
Established in 1996, the Mud House name reflects our origin and link to the earth, where the wine begins. Our vineyards are nurtured to ensure that our grapes reach optimum ripeness, varietal character and flavour. Our winemakers then finely craft the wine to capture the essence of its origin. All Mud House wines are produced sustainably.
Once a gold mining region, Bendigo is framed by ancient, dry hills and fanned by westerly winds. The soils have been formed from glaciers grinding up the schist rocks to smaller gravels and finer particles. These soils are rich in minerals, free draining and low in vigour so careful use of irrigation is required to maintain vine health.
The climate is the most continental in New Zealand with cold winters (making great skiing in nearby Wanaka) and hot dry summers. Rainfall is low with average of 450mm's per annum and in peak summer temperatures can exceed 35 degrees Celsius, however the much cooler nights maintain acidity and vitality in the Pinot Noir we produce.
