Rapaura Springs Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "This is instantly appealing on the nose, presenting aromas of crunchy apple, feijoa, kiwifruit, and lemon zest. It's equally satisfying in the mouth, offering terrific vibrancy and juicy fruit intensity, with a long and tasty finish. At its best: now to 2027."

Cameron Douglas MS writes "Fresh and crunchy red apple, tropical fruits of pineapple and mango, fresh basil, a refreshing wine bursting with flavour. Just dry on the palate with a core of ripe apple and tropical fruits framed by a saline acidity and chalky textured fruit tannins. There’s a light leesy quality adding texture and length. Well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2028."

Candice Chow writes "Bright, even, pale yellow with a light green hue. The nose is full, packed with aromas of citrus, passionfruit, guava, jalapeno and tomato vine. Medium-light bodied, aromas of lime, passionfruit and guava have a pure core, entwined with blossom, jalapeno and tomato vine. The pristine fruit is elegantly presented with a lightly creamy, effortless mouthfeel, driven with precision and invigorating acidity to a long finish. Excellent balance and precision. Match with pan-fried sole fish and scallops over the next 3 years."

The winery writes "Influenced by Marlborough’s memorable style, we’ve created an exuberant Reserve Sauvignon Blanc from Dillons Point, the most expressive subregion. Grown in alluvial soils with coastal influences, this wine has a unique salty minerality, ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours with impressive palate weight. Wrapped up with a mouth-watering finish, this is
our very own signature style."
