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 Riesling is dry in style and bursting with flavours of freshly squeezed lemons, citrus and flint with undertones of honey. Riesling is a variety I love because it truly allows for winemaker expression. I'm a keen diver and the fresh citrus flavours in our Wairau Valley Riesling are a stunning match with our local seafood. Matt Large - Wither Hills Winemaker

A portion of nobly botrytic fruit has produced a distinctive style of wine. It has a core of citrus fruit characters, particularly lemons and limes, but there is also an undercurrent of white fleshed peaches and nectarines. The botrytis has added hints of honeysuckle and also given the wine extra concentration and richness. A seam of natural acidity and minerality flows through the wine and gives it an off-dry finish length and zest.
