- He might've pursued a career with cows, lucky for us Ben Glover (chief winemaker) it's wine instead
- 4 1/2 Stars Cuisine and double Gold medal winner!
- Great with Asian and fish dishes
"If I wasn't making wine, I'd be milking cows" - Ben Glover, Wither Hills Chief Winemaker.
Lucky for us he left the cow's udder for someone else and plied his trade with vines, grapes and bloody good wine. He's one of NZ's most talented winemakers and as the head honcho chief winemaker he oversees one of the biggest wine brands in this country and a juggernaut in the overseas markets. Bit of pressure then, right?
But Ben and his team seem to nail it every time and this Pinot Gris has done the business again. Dry in style but some oak aging has given weight and texture that all up gives it a totally refreshing, mouthfeel hit of summery yum yum!
A Double Gold medal winner - in wine competitions here at home and in Germany too. Great with Asian and fish dishes - Ben and his team reckon this is a real treat with salty feta or wood smoked river salmon!
