Wine Focus - Wither Hills Rarangi Sauvignon Blanc We know we are a bit out of season trying to shift some Sauvignon Blanc at the start of winter, but this review is well overdue. We first discovered this wine in November last year and it has quickly developed a cult following on our site. This is Wither Hills' premium Sauvignon Blanc offering. Their Estate Sauvingon Blanc is one of their best-selling wines, and this is a step up again. A single vineyard offering, the wine offers a stunning herbal nose mingled with gooseberry, citrus and other ripe fruits. A dry mineral palate full of ripe melon, tropical fruit layers, with intensity and texture is supported by an elegant and refined acidity. In fact, it's the softness of the acidity that really wins it for us - It is a skillfully crafted wine from the team at Wither Hills. Winner of Trophy & Gold - International Aromatic Wine Show (NZ), Nov 09 and Gold & Top 100 - 2009 Sydney International Wine Competition. CLICK HERE TO ORDER.
