Mud House Riesling 750ml

Mud House Riesling opens with bright citrus aromas of lemon and green apple, complemented by Thai basil, lemongrass and floral notes. The palate delivers juicy lime and lemon with concentrated fruit character, balanced by crisp mineral acidity and delicate natural sweetness. Wet stone minerality adds complexity, while ginger and stone fruit notes provide depth without heaviness.

Mud House Riesling comes from Waipara Valley on New Zealand's South Island. This cool-climate region is known for producing aromatic whites with intense fruit character and signature wet stone minerality. The valley's conditions allow Riesling to develop vibrant acidity while retaining natural sweetness, creating the balanced style this wine exemplifies.

Mud House Riesling pairs beautifully with Chinese cuisine, where its citrus notes and natural sweetness complement aromatic spices and umami flavours. The wine also works exceptionally well with shellfish such as prawns, scallops and crab. Thai dishes benefit from the Riesling's ability to balance heat while enhancing fresh herbs and lime-based dressings.

This Riesling complements salmon, duck and canapés with its vibrant acidity and fruit character. The wine's mineral backbone and citrus profile also work well with salads featuring Asian-inspired dressings, grilled white fish, and soft cheeses. Its balanced sweetness makes it versatile enough for mildly spiced curries and aromatic vegetable dishes.

Serve Mud House Riesling well chilled at 6-8°C to enhance its aromatic profile and refreshing acidity. Use a standard white wine glass to concentrate the floral and citrus aromas. No decanting is required, though the wine benefits from being opened just before serving to preserve its vibrant, spritzy character.
