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.

Rich and ripe flavours of blackberry and dark cherry, flowing through restrained hints of French oak. The finish is long, with soft tannins and undertones of spice.

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

Layered fruit, dark seductive spice and beautiful French oak toast with a rich, opulent and long palate full of succulent ripe fruit and silky tannins match beautifully to fine cuts of meat or wild Marlborough game.

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.
