Rapaura Springs Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Named for a spring that flows through the family-owned vineyard (see picture), this Marlborough sauvignon blanc is ultra aromatic. The perfume of green guavas jumps out of the glass. Rich and full-bodied, the texture is glycerol, oily and creamy. Very easy to pair with food, including shellfish, fish, chicken and pork.
Rapaura Springs Reserve Central Otago Pinot Noir 2017
Although based in Marlborough in the north of New Zealand’s South Island where it also produces a pinot noir, Rapaura Springs also boasts one from the deep south of the South Island. Central Otago is recognised as premium pinot country and the wine here is of Reserve quality. Ruby red with lifted raspberry fruit. The elegant fruit is intensely fresh. Burgundian-like in finesse, this medium-plus bodied pinot is mighty delicious now and will continue to evolve and become more complex into 2025. Great with Tandoori chicken, duck, goose and lamb. Rapaura Springs was London’s International Wine & Spirit New Zealand Wine Producer of the Year 2015.
