Tasting Note
Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc is bright, vibrant, and intensely refreshing. Aromas of passionfruit, lime zest, grapefruit, and freshly cut herbs leap from the glass. The palate is crisp and lively, driven by zesty citrus, gooseberry, and a subtle mineral edge. Clean, focused, and mouthwatering, it finishes dry with racy acidity—classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with excellent energy and purity.
