Wither Hills Pinot Noir Marlborough 2019 750 ML

This is soft spoken and somewhat reductive at first, but after time swirling in glass it morphs into an appealing and approachable Pinot, offering up plump blueberry and red berry, white pepper and floral characters. The palate is light to medium bodied with an almost surprising firmness to the leathery, savory tannins.\n \n Producer Information\n Wither Hills is a Marlborough wine producer of New Zealand's South Island. It produces a range of wines from common regional varieties such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and – most significantly – Sauvignon Blanc. The Core Range is is a fruit-forward collection of varietal wines, designed to be affordable and approachable in their youth. In contrast, the Cellar Collection is the boutique wine range headed by The Honourable, a premium-quality Pinot Noir which is only produced in selected vintages. Whither Hills also produce a low alcohol range that includes Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and a Rosé. Wither Hills source grapes from both the Marlborough and the Hawke's Bay wine regions. Three select vineyards in the Marlborough region are used to produce the Single Vineyard collection of varietal Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Here, sea breezes keep temperatures cool and moderate and a long growing season allows for grapes to ripen to their full potential. Wither Hills is now owned by the Australasian beverage company Lion.
