Description

The Wines of the Wither Hills Single Vineyards – Rarangi, Taylor River & Ben Morven demonstrate superb synergy between region, vineyard site, variety and winemaker. These vineyards define our unique sense of place at home, here in Marlborough. This wine displays Taylor River’s hallmark rich layered structure with dark brambly wild berry fruits, spice and firm tannin profile. Complex and thought-provoking, this wine is great to drink now and will cellar beautifully to expose its true self.
