From the Marlborough, South Island wine region, Rapaura Springs Reserve 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is produced from sustainably-grown grapes. Fragrant with gooseberry, melon, passion fruit and lime zest flavours concentrated and mouth-watering on the palate. Excellent now, chill and enjoy it with salads and grilled shellfish dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

On the nose ample Notes of white peach, cantaloupe, citrus, and fresh dill. Flavours show cucumber, citrus, and starfruit. Bright and balanced with brisk acidity and lingering mango fruit near the back. Light to medium bodied with a tropical fruit-infused finish. Mouthwatering and super tasty. A nice pairing with mandarin spinach salad. - tasted September 2022

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
