  • Refreshing finish

"Pristine and instantly appealing with watermelon, apricot, fig and floral aromas, it's juicy and refreshing with bright fruit intensity backed by crisp acidity. It's fine, light and immensely charming with youthful vibrancy and a persistent delicious finish. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2021

Vibrantly pink, with inviting aromas of strawberries and cream. Each glass is loaded with fresh summer berries, watermelon and stone fruit, with a delightfully refreshing finish. Chill and enjoy!

Their Reserve wines are expertly crafted from selected vineyards with impressive flavour concentration and palate weight. Each bottle of Rapaura Springs tells the story of a lifetime. Of water and wine, and of generations of family working with nature. Their label depicts the rocky aquifer at our home vineyard, and the pristine springs that connect it to their land. They make exceptional wines that reflect their remarkable landscapes, pure waterways and passionate people.

2021 was another unique vintage, one of the earliest and shortest on record. The growing season was the third in a series of drought vintages, the stress on the vines was compounded by a huge wind run. The combination of some early frost events and a poor flowering resulted in lower yields and smaller bunches than usual. This, combined with the dry conditions, has meant that disease levels are incredibly low this year, resulting in better flavours and pristine fruit with good concentration, good tannin and good colour. We’re thrilled with the concentration and intensity of flavour in our 2021 wines, this vintage will be one to remember

After harvesting, selected parcels of fruit were allowed extended skin contact for 12 hours, for colour and flavour, before being gently pressed. The juice was cool fermented in stainless steel to capture all the vibrant fruit flavours and aroma. This wine is made from a blend of predominantly Pinot Noir, and a portion of Pinot Gris.
