Rapaura Springs Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 (750ml) Gewurtztraminer

Rapaura Springs Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 (750ml) GewurtztraminerWinemakers Notes Influenced by Marlboroughs memorable style, weve created an exuberant Reserve Sauvignon Blanc from Dillons Point, the most expressive sub region. Grown in alluvial soils with coastal influences, this wine has a unique salty minerality, ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours with impressive palate weight. Wrapped up with a mouth watering finish, this is our very own signature style. The 2024 vintage was one of the best we've seen. The
