The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The big brother of the immensely popular Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc. A wine that truly made its mark on New Zealand wines; that glass is so incredibly good. With this Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc Reserve, they deconstruct and rename the classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The evolved version of this already incredibly good wine, appreciated by the world's best wine connoisseurs.
Rapaura Springs is named after the famous Rapaura Road, a well-known street where many leading wineries are located. However, Rapaura Springs is one of the youngest wineries on this well-known street in Marlborough. Wine production began in 2005. It is therefore quite remarkable that they have managed to conquer the world with their attractive wines in such a relatively short time.
With this Sauvignon Blanc, they're shaking up the wine world once again. A truly remarkable wine that showcases their craftsmanship. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from specially selected vineyards situated in the lower reaches of the Wairau Valley, where a unique microclimate prevails. There's less wind, resulting in a slower growth process. This results in a truly unique grape that gives this Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc Reserve its characteristic aroma and flavor.
Refreshing, invigorating, and incredibly delicious. Everything about this Sauvignon Blanc Reserva wine from Rapaura Springs seems to be just right. A complex wine that nevertheless deserves to be called everyone's favorite. Juicy and ripe with an exuberant bouquet. You'll be pampered by notes of passion fruit, tropical fruit, and blackberry leaf. A crisp finish combined with a minerally, salty undertone is the icing on the cake of this Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc Reserve.
