New Zealand wines are becoming more well-known in Israel. Sauvignon Blancs are on the rise. One of the best value of this new wave is a New Zealand wine called Mud House. It is wildly popular.
Now for the first time there is a kosher cuvée. It is from the 2019 vintage. Amusing to drink a 2019 wine while we are in the middle of the 2019 harvest, but of course New Zealand is a Southern Hemisphere country, so the harvest will have been in the spring.
The wine is a classic Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc. Aromatic with lashings of tropical fruit, grapefruit and tomato plant, it is crisp with a great, refreshing acidity. It comes from the Marlborough region. For the kosher wine drinker, this is a fantastic addition to the ranks (NIS 65).
