Wither Hills new white wine cellar development

Two major wineries are getting ready to ramp up production to meet growing demand with new infrastructure being built in time for next season. Wither Hills Winery is readying for a 50 per cent increase in production with the construction of a new 3000-square metre white wine cellar. The building will help add an extra 3000 tonnes of white wine production to the Lion Nathan-owned company’s current annual production of 8000 tonnes. The increase follows the company’s intention in 2010 when it obtained resource consent to target 15,000 tonnes per year.
