Grassy, herbal and terrifically refreshing! Vibrant tropical fruit and lime citrus on the nose of this mouth-watering New Zealand white wine made from Sauvignon blanc grapes. Pair with shellfish.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

From Marlborough, NZ, a Sauv Blanc with delicious aromas of guava and lime leaf. The mouth-watering palate has a delightful melange of lime, guava and a slight coriander note. Dry, good acidity, long citrus finish- a very enjoyable SB.

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Green papaya, capsicum, unripe mango, grass, lime leaf, and a slight hint of white stone fruit. Lovely summer sipper. 90 points. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)
Gwen Barton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

New Zealand produces some wonderful Sauv Blanc wines- this one from Marlborough is no exception. Nice combination of herbaceousmess, citrus and tropical fruit. Lively acidity. Easy to enjoy on its own or try with pasta carbonara.
Wither Hills (2015) is a vibrant dill, grapefruit and ripe tropical fruit Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand's South Island. Mouthcoating fruit is tempered by a mouthwatering finish. So fresh, with good length. - Community Wine Reviews
