Our talented Wither Hills winemakers craft exceptional award-winning wines that reflect their unique sense of place. Hailing from the iconic Hawke's Bay region, and renowned for beautiful deep reds which are complex and full of character, our Merlot is the essence of Hawke's Bay in a glass. A wonderfully dense yet exquisitely structured and warmly textured Merlot, alive with vibrant dark plums, cigar box and chocolate nuances.

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
