Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2011 Marlborough, New Zealand

Award Winner Bin Number: 063810
More than 5 cases / 60 bottles in stock

An aromatic wine with zesty, citrus and grapefruit flavours and a smoky finish. Distinctively Marlborough in style where the cool climate and extended growing season allows the grapes not only to ripen fully but also to retain freshness. Lovely as an apéritif and with prawns, trout and salmon.

Customer favourite: "A powerful explosion of tropical fruit in the mouth. Gooseberry, green peppers and rich fruits leave a long lingering taste. This is as good as Sauvignon Blanc gets."

    Waitrose customer reviews

    A really refreshing crisp wine which we enjoyed enormously accompanying well a special Portuguese Chicken dish we made for some family birthday celebrations. I liked it so much I bought a case the next time I was in Waitrose. JE, London
    Fantastic, fruity yet not over zealous white wine that sizzles and smoothes as it cascades down your oesophagus. ENJOY with utmost joy. M, Madagascar
    Love this wine. I've introduced this to friends and family as an alternative to Cloudy Bay. For my mind it's as good and more widely available. An NZ sauvignon archetype. G W, London
