    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. Pale straw in colour. Pure aromas of guava, snow-peas and gooseberry. An elegant but pungent style of Sauvignon Blanc. A perfectly defined palate shows bright tropical fruit and finishes with lingering grapefruit acidity. The harvest for this single vineyard wine commenced in the Woolshed block on 9th April closely followed by the Hillside blocks on the 14th. Both blocks were harvested at optimum maturity in the cool of the night. The grapes were then carefully transported to the winery for immediate pressing with minimal skin contact. The pressed juice was then cold settled before being cool fermented in stainless steel. Carefully selected yeasts were used to add complexity to the blend and to retain the fresh fruit characteristics from each of the blocks. After the completion of fermentation the wine was carefully balanced and prepared for bottling. This single vineyard wine was selected from two individual blocks within Mud House's upper Wairau Valley Marlborough Vineyard. The fertile Woolshed Block gives the wine its pungency, and the differing aspects of the Hill Blocks give the wine its depth and complexity. An unusually wet February and early March had Mud House a little worried at the beginning of the season. However the weather gods were on their side and seven weeks of near perfect weather followed through to harvest. The warm days and cool nights in April presented ideal ripening conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes ripened slowly giving fantastic acid structure and plenty of vibrant flavours. Serve lightly chilled.
