Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc Reserve Marlborough 2022 750Ml

The Neylon family have a long, proud association with premium exports from the Marlborough region, having helped pioneer the green lip mussel industry. They were the first family to grow, process and export this premium product in the early eighties. In 1985 they purchased prime vineyard land in the Rapaura and Dillons Point sub-regions, starting a business partnership with the Wiffin family, first growing orchard fruits, and then establishing a grapevine nursery to supply their vineyards and others in the region. Each bottle of Rapaura Springs tells a story of a lifetime in Marlborough — of water and wine, and working with nature. A lot of people say great winemaking begins in the vineyard, but for us it begins far earlier, high in the Southern Alps. It takes months for the pure water from these snow-capped mountains to filter through braided rivers and underground aquifers to make its way to our Rapaura Springs home vineyard, and for our vines to grow and bear fruit for harvest. These are wines made by family and friends, and imbued with our resilience and realized dreams. They carry the story of bettering our best and breaking boundaries. Of discovering new things and savoring the moment. Of sunrises and sunsets, interspersed by days full of fun and full of hard work. We appreciate what we’ve got and constantly redefine what we’ve got to give. View More
