Mud House Swan Reserve wines are their flagship range of super premium wines. The winemakers select only the highest quality parcels from Mud House's Marlborough vineyards to create these elegant wines. Colour: Straw yellow. Nose: Intense, complex aromas of melon, mandarin, peach and mango combined with wet stone, mineral and subtle oak notes of cashew. Palate: Flavours of lemon, grapefruit, mandarin and stonefruit supported by undertones of subtle yeast autolysis characters and fine acidity. The palate is elegant with a flesh-like texture and a lingering seductive finish. Food Matching: Grilled chicken breast with mango salsa. A model growing season with warm, consistent weather throughout the whole season, allowed the grapes to ripen without any of the usual pressure from seasonal influences. Marlborough enjoys the longest ripening period of anywhere in the world. A balanced pruning, shoot trimming, tucking, and thinning regime ensures a partially shaded canopy is maintained, enabling the full flavours of the grapes to mature. Each parcel of fruit was carefully monitored during ripening so it could be harvested as optimum maturity. The fruit parcels were then transported with haste for immediate pressing with minimal skin contact to avoid juice deterioration. After settling, each batch was cool fermented in stainless steel using a variety of cultured yeasts to add complexity to the blend and to retain the fresh fruit characteristics from each of the vineyards. The wines were blended shortly after the completion of fermentation and then carefully balanced and prepared for bottling.
