Rapaura Springs Rohe Southern Valleys Chardonnay

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.

This is Rapaura Spring’s “Rohe” series which means territory in Maori. They’ve selected special sites within key sub regions of Marlborough like Dillons Point, Blind River, Rapaura, Awatere and the Southern Valleys, which is where this Chardonnay was produced.

This is the 2023 vintage of Rohe Chardonnay and just to add some more Gold to their fancy new Gold design label is a Double Gold medal and Trophy for Champion Chardonnay at the NZ International Wine Show! A Double Gold medal means every senior judge awarded it Gold.

The judges said “Pale gold in the glass with juicy golden peaches, creamy oak and a touch of vanilla. The finish is long and lingering with a delectable note of caramel and spice. An eyecatching new label in the Rapaura Springs family.”

Blink and you’ll miss it. Stocks are extremely limited and in high demand for this Champion winning Chardy!
