Wither Hills
Wither Hills Merlot 2020
Details
Don’t miss this one. The Hawkes Bay, on the east coast of the North Island, is known for its rich reds and fruity whites, a result of its warm and dry climate. The 2019 vintage in the Hawkes Bay was one of the warmest in recent years and this allowed the grapes to ripen longer and to their fullest before being picked. What does that mean for us? Wines with great fruit intensity, length and integrated acid and tannins. The Wither Hills 2019 is rich and warming, with black Doris plum, sweet vanilla (from the range of oak used) and rich mocha. Try it with a rich stew or a few squares of your favourite dark chocolate at the end of a long day. Enjoy!
