We are continually impressed by the quality and value of the Rapaura Springs Reserve wines and sell a lot of the Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. This Pinot Gris is right up there with the sauvignon in quality and style. A mix of fermentation vessels and different yeasts has built texture into the wine and added a whole lot of character to the core of concentrated fruit. Mouth filling, rich, and excellent drinking.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Our Reserve Pinot Gris has inviting nashi pear, apricot, and rock melon aromas, with a hint of spice. Full of fruit character, but not too sweet, this off-dry wine is delightfully drinkable. The flavours linger long after your glass is empty."

Number 5, WineFolio.co.nz Top 10 Pinot Gris Tasting, April 2024 (2023 Vintage)
"Packed with personality, one note added “Character plus! could be divisive?” It has plenty of varietal typicity, with abundant pear, melon, spice (in fact “SPICE”, in capitals), fig and brioche flavours. Add in some pithy phenolics, and an off-dry touch of golden sweetness, and this is quite intense, rich and distinctive. Loved it."

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Charming and immediately appealing, the inviting bouquet shows rockmelon, Asian pear, Gala apple and jasmine aromas, leading to a finely expressed palate offering bright fruit flavours with fleshy texture, finishing long and tasty. Delightfully elegant yet persistent with plenty of delectable flavours. At its best: now to 2026."

92/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, August 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Fresh, bright Pinot Gris with an array of tree-ripened fruit flavours including pear, quince and apple. A little sweetness is evident on the initial taste but it is nicely balanced by crisp acidity to give a refreshing finish."

Rapaura Springs operates four vineyards: The Springs Vineyard on their home property, Bull Paddock Vineyard at Dillons Point, Blind River Vineyard South of Awatere, and Riverside Estate Vineyard on the banks of the Opawa River in Lower Wairau.
The vineyards grow Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Verdelho, and Chardonnay grapes.
Rapaura Springs is owned and operated in Marlborough by two families, the Wiffins and the Neylons. The Neylons were pioneers in the commercial production of green lipped mussels before partnering with the Wiffins in establishing vineyards.
Rapaura Springs was very proud to have achieved their goal of making Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines list in 2021. Their Classic Sauvignon Blanc made it to number 41 out of 100, from a pool of over 12,500 entrants!
In 2018 Rapaura Springs purchased the Blind River Vineyard to develop Chardonnay and Pinot Noir offerings.
Rapaura Springs is committed to sustainability, investing in advanced irrigation infrastructure and water purification systems. Grape marc composting, cover crops and livestock grazing also support sustainability efforts.
