A Best Buy |
| 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. |
