Cellar for up to 3 years. Serve chilled. This classic kiwi sauvignon blanc is crisp and punchy with ample ripe tropical fruit and gooseberry notes on the nose. Renowned master of wine bob campbell wrote that it practically defines marlborough sauvignon , and it’s easy to see why from the mouthwatering freshness, grassy aromatic notes and ripe mango, lychee and zesty lemon flavours. The easy-going, zingy nature of this wine make it a great choice to serve as an aperitif, and it also pairs beautifully with leafy salads, asparagus dishes, and fresh seafood and fish. Rapaura springs in marlborough has a reputation for producing exceptional sauvignon and has previously been awarded new zealand winery of the year 2015 and a trophy for world’s best sauvignon. The winery was founded by the neylon family who established a successful mussel farm and factory in marlborough before purchasing their first vineyard in 2003. They soon began supplying local wineries including the famed oyster bay. Today the family grows and sources grapes from all of marlborough’s unique sub-regions which allows them to produce a comprehensive range of wines. The family’s philosophy is to produce the highest quality grapes possible and adopt a minimalist touch in the winery so the true varietal character and influence of the terroir can shine through.
