This classic Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and punchy with ample ripe tropical fruit and gooseberry notes on the nose. Renowned Master of Wine Bob Campbell wrote that "it practically defines Marlborough Sauvignon”, and it’s easy to see why from the mouthwatering freshness, grassy aromatic notes and ripe mango, lychee and zesty lemon flavours. The easy-going, zingy nature of this wine make it a great choice to serve as an aperitif, and it also pairs beautifully with leafy salads, asparagus dishes, and fresh seafood and fish.
Rapaura Springs in Marlborough has a reputation for producing exceptional Sauvignon and has previously been awarded New Zealand Winery of the Year 2015 and a trophy for World’s Best Sauvignon. The winery was founded by the Neylon family who established a successful mussel farm and factory in Marlborough before purchasing their first vineyard in 2003. They soon began supplying local wineries including the famed Oyster Bay.
Today the family grows and sources grapes from all of Marlborough’s unique sub-regions which allows them to produce a comprehensive range of wines. The family’s philosophy is to produce the highest quality grapes possible and adopt a minimalist touch in the winery so the true varietal character and influence of the terroir can shine through.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
