Description
"The wine is intensely expressed on the nose showing passionfruit, feijoa, green rock melon and lime zest characters. It is powerful and richly fruited on the palate, and delivers excellent concentration and fine texture, wonderfully structured by juicy acidity. Hugely appealing, this is another beauty under this label.” Sam Kim Wine Orbit, Aug 2016
"Nettle, boxwood and a touch of sweat… here’s to the scents of Marlborough. A label that always offers great value this year delivers another smart rendition, with the aromatic intensity backed up by good palate weight, a pithy texture a great length.” Cuisine Magazine, Dec 2016
Our 2016 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc displays pink grapefruit, white nectarine and passionfruit aromas combined with lifted herbal and zesty citrus notes. A textural, fruit driven, wine it offers layer upon layer of delicious citrus and tropical fruit flavours. An underlying, attractive, flinty-ness combines with the tasty fruit flavours and crisp acidity to deliver a long and refreshing finish.
The journey of this Rapaura Springs wine begins far from our vineyards, at a point where the earth claims a share of the Wairau River. After a 6 month journey through a rocky aquifer, the water is released to a spring that weaves through our vineyard. This spring, depicted on our label, provides both the crystal clear, pure, water for our vines and guides the philosophy behind our family winery.
