This wine was created to redefine the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc style. A real crowd pleaser, it is loved for its juicy, ripe flavours and restrained acidity. Each glass is brimming with succulent flavors of passionfruit, tropical fruit and citrus. The fruit flavor is balanced with crisp acidity and a distinct salty minerality, which combine to create a mouth-watering finish.

Palate: Crisp and refreshing, with a good balance of acidity. The flavors mirror the nose, offering a juicy and vibrant experience. You'll find plenty of passionfruit, citrus, and tropical fruit notes.
Finish: The finish is clean and refreshing, with the fruit flavors lingering on the palate. There's often a satisfyingly long aftertaste with a hint of salinity.
Overall, the Rapaura Springs Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a lively and invigorating wine that showcases the best of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

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.
Winemaker Notes
Rapaura Springs is a family owned winery based in the heart of Marlborough, Rapaura, New Zealand. We all have one shot at life and only so many vintages on the planet. We want to make ours count. A lot of people say great winemaking begins in the vineyard but, for us, it begins high in the Southern Alps above our home.
It takes six months for the pure water from these snow-capped mountains to filter through bedrock and make its way to our Rapaura Springs and vineyards - and another six months for our vines to grow and bear fruit for harvest. A full year in the cycle of nature that defines our lives and shapes the way we live.
Each bottle of Rapaura Springs tells a story of a lifetime in Marlborough — of water and wine, and working with nature. Wines made by family, filled with resilience and realised dreams, of bettering our best and breaking boundaries. Discovering new things and savouring the moment. Sunrises and sunsets — days full of fun, and full of hard work. We appreciate what we’ve got and constantly redefine what we’ve got to give. Year on year, sharing new perspectives from our home in Marlborough.
