Description
Rapaura Springs Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 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.
Rapaura Springs (pronounced Ra-para) is a unique oasis in the dry Marlborough landscape with natural underground springs providing a life source for the vines. This pure water enables the vineyards to produce outstanding fruit with minimal intervention. The vineyard is owned and operated by two Kiwi families – the Neylons and the Wiffins – with their connection to the area running deep. In the early eighties, the Neylons were the first family to grow, process and export green lipped mussels. Then in 1985, they bought prime vineyard land and joined forces with the Wiffins to grow orchard fruits before establishing a grapevine nursery. Since then, Rapaura Springs have put in years of hard graft and given all they’ve got to build their vineyards from the ground up, producing authentic and high quality wines.
