Rapaura Springs Reserve Pinot Rose

Named after a natural spring that pops up in their Rapaura vineyard there in Marlborough. They’re a name that’s been popping up on the radars of wine scribblers, judges, critics and (most importantly) wine lovers across the world.

They’re fast gaining a rep as one of Aotearoa’s top value wine producers. Don’t take our word for it, they’ve scooped “NZ Wine Producer of the Year” at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in London a couple of years back and they’ve stashed away Trophies from the Air NZ Wine Awards, Marlborough Wine Show and New World Wine Awards.

This is their Reserve label Marlborough Pinot Rosé from the 2022  vintage. It’s bagged a 90/100 and Top Value Award with Master of Wine Bob Campbell.

Bob called it “Medium-tinted rosé with fragrant raspberry sherbet dab, rosewater and watermelon flavours. Tangy acidity nicely balances subtle sweetness giving the wine some sweet-and-sour tension and an off-dry finish.”
