Owned by the Neylon family, Rapaura Springs has an astonishing track record of Trophies and top points for its wines. The family started their farming career with mussels and apples but found vines much more rewarding. They have vineyards throughout the best sites in Marlborough, and also work with a handful of skilled and loyal growers to gain access to the finest fruit. To top it off, they asked former IWC White Winemaker of the Year to come on board. The result is knock-out wines like this, described by Wine Spectator as “Lip-smacking and juicy, offering mango, lemon and pineapple accents that are bold and energetic.” It’s crafted from grapes taken from premium Wairau, Waihopai and Dillons Point. Enjoy chilled with spicy seafood or solo.

"Rich and mouthfilling with passionfruit, tropical fruit and herb flavours with plenty of presence" Raymond Chan, Wine Critic
