Description

  • Dry style
  • Passionfruit & lemon
  • Apple & rockmelon
  • Juicy & lively

"It’s gorgeously aromatic and instantly appealing on the nose with kiwifruit, crunchy apple, rockmelon and lemon peel aromas, followed by an intensely flavoursome palate that’s juicy and lively. Upfront and pristine with loads of delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2023

"Tangy, refreshing sauvignon with passionfruit, guava, gooseberry, nectarine and green-apple flavours supported by bright, punchy acidity that drives a lingering finish. Smooth-textured wine in a truly dry style" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Aug 2023

"Flint, matchstick, restrained tropical fruit and mineral, ripe citrus notes. The palate is ripe but crisp, with polished and clean citrus zest, beeswax and tropical fruit notes. Fresh acidity with good intensity and texture. Elegant and well-made" Decanter

This wine was created to redefine the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc style. A real crowd-pleaser, it is loved for its juicy, ripe flavours and restrained acidity. Each glass is brimming with succulent flavours of passionfruit, tropical fruit and citrus. The fruit flavour is balanced with crisp acidity and a distinct salty minerality, which combine to create a mouth-watering finish.

The Sauvignon Blanc for this wine is grown in the Dillons Point and Wairau sub-regions, known for expressive aromatics and ripe fruit flavour. We believe these sites grow the best Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough. Our winery is the only facility in this sub-region, meaning our grapes are immediately pressed after harvest, minimising skin contact. This allows us to capture all the expressive aromatics and fruit flavour, without bitter phenolics. After pressing, the juice was settled and then cool-fermented in stainless steel to retain the vibrant flavours and aromas. We use a variety of yeast strains to provide palate weight and complexity.

Expertly crafted from our favourite vineyards, our Reserve wines have impressive flavour concentration and palate weight. Adorning every label on every bottle of Rapaura Springs wine is a simple symbol – a circle of rocks that signify the pure spring in our home vineyard in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand. Our label and our name represent our intimate connection to the pristine waters that collect high in the Southern Alps and are gradually filtered beneath the region’s braided rivers, refreshing the deep underground aquifers that feed our vines, and bubble up in our own Rapaura Springs.
