In your wine glass this stunning Central Otago Pinot Noir is vibrant with ruby red and purple hues. On the noses you'll find fresh dark cherries, hints of spice and an elegant waft of thyme. The palate again rich with Central Otago cherries and nuances of chocolate, intertwined with wild thyme and alluring earthy notes.

A classic Central Otago style Pinot, named after the original shepherds that slogged it out on Otago's high country sheep stations. Match with game meats.

Fragrant aromas of raspberry, strawberry and red plum. This vibrant fruit core is underpinned by savoury notes of green tea, spice and a delicious French oak toast. Beautiful fruit concentration on the palate complemented by fine tannin and balanced acidity ensure a deliciously long finish.

A bright ruby hue in the glass, this Awatere Valley Pinot Noir displays aromatic layers of red fruit and spicy florals with hints of crushed herbs. The palate is smoothly textured with flavours of bright cherry, red berries and finely integrated French oak. Mid-weight on the palate, this wine is balanced with refined silky tannins that lead to a long and elegant finish.

Bramble, spice and wild herb aromatics sit gently on the nose, then lead to an elegant finely driven mouthfeel, showing poise, freshness and a lingering persistent finish.

Established in 1994 and named after the Southern landmark range of the Wither Hills that border the vineyards, Wither Hills has always been dedicated to the philosophy that exceptional wines are created in the vineyard. Now one of New Zealand's most popular brands - Wairau Valley, at it's best. Wither Hills Pinot Noir is full of dark wild berry fruits, alluring spice and subtle earthy undertones with ripe fruit tannins. I've been making Pinot Noir at Wither Hills for twelve vintages and it's the wine variety I am most passionate about. Best matched to darker, gamey meats like lamb and venison, this is the wine for Sunday family get togethers. Sally Williams - Wither Hills Winemaker

Vineyards are like people; full of character, their own nuances and interesting habits and influences. Our Wither Hills Single Vineyard wines are the result of decades of trust, love and hard work to produce exceptional wines that reflect the very best of some of our favourite vineyards. Defining our unique sense of place, this is our best expression of Marlborough in a glass. Situated alongside the Taylor River, the mixed riverbed soils and gravels of this site express the bold and structured side of Pinot Noir. A dense crimson red in colour that instantly alludes to its rich complexity as the wine hits the glass. A layered structure of forest berries, peppercorn spice, chewy tannins and bright acidity. Sumptuous now or over the next decade. This Single Vineyard wine represents some of the finest Pinot Noir crafted by Wither Hills - and I open it with friends and family when there is something to celebrate. Sally Williams - Wither Hills Winemaker

Ripe hand picked fruit, gentle winemaking and maturation in French oak have resulted in a complex and powerful wine. It has a perfumed nose of darks fruits, violets and liquorice with a hint of spice. Ripe berry, plum, cherry and chocolate show on the palate with a long sweet fruit finish. A great example of one of the best Central Otago Pinot Noirs. Drinking fantastically well now and will develop and cellar for several years.

The palate is led by raspberry and cherry with a smooth mouthfeel which lingers in the mouth long after the last sip.
