WINE DESCRIPTION

Wither Hills Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Wither Hills Winery in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. The vineyards are situated on the southern side of the Wairau Valley, where the soil is rich in minerals and the climate is cool. The grapes are handpicked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant Pinot Noir with a rich aroma of dark fruit and spices, a silky texture, and a long, smooth finish. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and strong cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Wither Hills Pinot Noir offers aromas of ripe cherry, dark plum and a hint of violet.On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft tannins and a supple texture. Flavors of juicy blackberry, spice, and earthy notes are well balanced with a lingering finish. A delicious and expressive expression of the classic Central Otago Pinot Noir.
