Rapaura Springs, Marlborough (South Island, New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Sep 3, 2024

By Rebecca Murphy

 From the families of John Neylon and Ian Wiffin comes a lush, intense Sauvignon Blanc with a pale yellow color with very ripe aromas and flavors of peach, lychee, and grapefruit zest, with notes of dried basil and mint.   It is round and lush in the mouth, vitalized by tangy acidity.   It is a bold wine that can handle a spicy Asian curry or Mexican chiles rellenos.
