Cellier Rapaura Springs Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022

From Rapaura Springs in Marlborough, this 2022 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc brings together selected parcels from across the harvest to create a sub-regional blend that reflects the breadth of flavour found in the region. The wine draws on fruit from Rapaura, lower and upper Wairau, and Waihopai, combining ripe fruit character with a distinct mineral edge.

Aromas of passionfruit, guava, pineapple and pink grapefruit are lifted by a fresh herbal note. On the palate, sweet melon, tropical fruit and yellow stone fruit sit alongside attractive minerality, with a full, rich texture, ripe acidity and a lingering finish.
