Rapaura Springs, Rohe Sauvignon Blanc, Blind River, Marlborough, New Zealand 2018

Rohe, meaning territory in Mãori, showcases the distinct terroirs of each of Marlborough’s sub-regions. Blind River is the driest, coolest, windiest of those, producing intense, concentrated wines. This shows ripe pineapple, guava and yuzu citrus tones on the weighty palate, which carries the alcohol well, leading to a long mango lassi finish. A 2019 DWWA Platinum winner.
