Rapaura Springs 2023 Classic Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough

Rapaura Springs is a family owned winery based in the heart of Marlborough, Rapaura, New Zealand. A lot of people say great winemaking begins in the vineyard but, for them, it begins high in the Southern Alps above their home. It takes six months for the pure water from these snow-capped mountains to filter through bedrock and make its way to Rapaura Springs and their vineyards - and another six months for their vines to grow and bear fruit for harvest. A full year in the cycle of nature that defines their lives and shapes the way they live. Each bottle of Rapaura Springs tells a story of a lifetime in Marlborough — of water and wine, and working with nature.

This 2023 is pure and vibrant with layers of passionfruit, tropical fruit and ripe citrus. Juicy fruit flavors and soft acidity combine to deliver a mouth-watering finish. Capturing all the trademark sub-regional flavors of Marlborough, this Sauvignon Blanc is sure to impress.

Wine Spectator scored this 92 points saying, “Vibrant and generous, showing off passion fruit, lemon, peach and ginger notes up front, backed by toasted herbs, sea salt minerality and plenty of intensity on the mouthwatering finish. A hint of chive flower lingers.”
