History
Our founders were a courageous couple who embarked on a sailing tour of the world. On one of the earliest stops, they found New Zealand. They quickly fell in love and decided to end their tour of the world to build a mud house in New Zealand and planted vineyards. After preparing the land and planting vines, they used the local earth to build their home. That home became our brand.
Today, as proud New Zealanders, we make consistently beautiful wines for people who seek new experiences and embrace fresh ideas.

Winemaking
Our iconic vineyards are located in some of New Zealand's defining wine regions: Marlborough, Central Otago and the Waipara Valley. Each location has been selected with care and foresight; and we aim to interfere as little as possible once the grapes arrive in the hands of the winemakers.
Led by winemakers Cleighten Cornelius and Krystal Palmer, Mud House winemaking is about expressing the vineyard in the most respectful way to maintain its character, freshness, vibrancy and balance.
