Rapaura Springs Reserve 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.

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 Chardonnay from the 2024 vintage – and it’s got value-a-plenty. In fact the Rapaura Springs crew reckon 2024 is one of the best vintages they’ve ever seen!

Described as “Each bottle is bursting with honeysuckle, white peach, nectarine and fresh citrus, all complemented by toasty vanilla and subtle spiced oak characters.. It sold us! All you need now is some roast pork and apple sauce! Or goes just as well with some fresh kai moana in a creamy sauce. Yum!
