Pure and elegant, Wither Hills Chardonnay showcases cool climate characters of fresh lime and white peach with French oak nuances. We make some fantastic Chardonnay here in Marlborough and it's a wine I drink in any season - in the sunshine with a cheese platter and great company, or rugged up with a winter warming risotto.

Vineyards are like people; full of character, their own nuances and interesting habits and influences. Our Wither Hills Single Vineyard wines are the result of decades of trust, love and hard work to produce exceptional wines that reflect the very best of some of our favourite vineyards. Defining our unique sense of place, this is our best expression of Marlborough in a glass. Wither Hills Organic Ben Morven Chardonnay presents an outstanding bouquet of limes, lemons, grapefruit and orange peel framed by sensuous coconut, toasted sweet almonds and chestnut with a mineral, flinty backbone of fine grained smoky cedar notes. With a rich soft silky, creamy palate with a gorgeous texture and a lively fresh long finish.

Aromas of crème brülee, vanilla bean, honeysuckle, luscious lime pie and a hint of pineapple. A heady palate of toasty oak, baked apples, poached pears and spice.
