Wither Hills retain the choicest Pinot Noir from three hundred hectares of superb viticulture. The vineyards flourish in free draining, silty alluvial loam over deep stony river deposits, providing a near perfect environment. Experience has shown the importance of taking time to focus on nuances unique to each site and clone. Fruit is destemmed and cold soaked in square fermenters, inoculated with wild and select yeasts, drained off at dryness, basket pressed, treated to malolactic and left to relax over a term of fourteen months in French oak barriques. Following assemblage, the wine is treated to an egg white fining and light filtration. Wither Hills normally release several bottlings throughout the year.
