Sauvignon, Rohe Blind River, Rapaura, New Zealand, 2022

92/100 Master Sommelier Cain Douglas

The Journey of Rapaura Springs begins at the Wairau River. After 6 months the water goes through the rocks aquafre, then it is released through a spring that goes through the vineyard ensuring the grapes are bountiful and fresh. Marlborough's land, climate and water do all the hard work at Rapaura Springs, leaving the vineyard to tell their story with only a gentle nudge in the right direction from the experienced viticulture and wine-making teams.

Luminous light golden colour aroma of lime zest mandarin and freshly cut grass, melon with ripe citrus flavour on the palate. Luscious rounded texture with a really focused dry finish. "
