Blending the Maude Pinot Noir is one of their favourite and most important tasks. Each year, the magical blend from the Poison Creek and Mohawk Hill vineyards changes. Maintaining the pedigree of the Maude Pinot Noir is absolutely critical; but achieving this requires flexibility with both the blend as well as the technique as both vary with each vintage. However, not every bunch fits in, leaving them with some surplus yet superior parcels. Meet The Loner. Drink with friends.

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
