Description
The Wairau Valley is the northern most of Marlborough's three main growing regions. Even within this sub-region, a wide range of aspects, soils and rainfall patterns allow for a surprising number of mesoclimates to exist. In general terms, it is home to cool, dry sites that produce wines with intense fruit concentration. The Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc is a consistently generous wine with impressive ripe citrus and tropical fruit with a touch of smoky complexity.

Tasting Notes
Pear and citrus flavors are juicy and bright, with terrific intensity and aromatic accents of peach blossom lingering on the finish. Drink now. Score - 89. (MaryAnn Worobiec, winespectator.com, Aug. 31, 2017)
