Year-in year-out the Rapaura Springs Reserve wines offer some of the best value in our shop. Throw in what Rapaura Springs call "one of the best vintages this region (Marlborough) has ever seen" and you get the idea that this seriously over delivers for the price. Already with a champion Pinot Gris trophy under its belt, this mouth filling and rich white is full of spice and all things nice – excellent drinking!

Winery notes (2024 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.

The near-perfect conditions during vintage ensured our Pinot Gris was harvested at full physiological ripeness, while some cooler evening conditions during harvest ensured that acidity was kept in balance. This must be one of the best vintages this region has ever seen!"

5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"This is gorgeously ripe and fragrant on the nose with apricot, Nashi pear, Gala apple and lemon peel aromas, followed by a succulent palate offering terrific fruit intensity and persistency. Delightfully expressed with excellent fruit purity, making it fabulously drinkable. At its best: now to 2027."

5 Stars & 18.5+/20 (94) Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, August 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is exuberant and packed with aromas of Nashi pear, green apple, blossom and bee pollen. Medium-bodied, aromas of Nashi pear, green apple entwined with blossom, bee pollen and a touch of ginger. The fruit is fresh with incredible vibrancy and presence; the blossom grew into ripe floral fragrances and left a long lingering finish. An expressive and elegant Pinot Gris with vibrant fruit and thirst-quenching acidity. Match with fish tacos and pulled pork over the next 3 years. Fermented to 14% alc."

92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Vibrant and new with a bouquet filled with scents of green pears and apples, quince and lees. There’s a distinctive new release energy from lees and So2, a bouquet with attributes fighting for attention. Crisp and dry, plenty of texture and fruit spice, lees and flavours. Fruit and non fruit flavours mirror the bouquet accentuated by a crisp acid line and energy. Best drinking from Summer 2025 through 2027."

90/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, January 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"Rapaura Springs is consulted to by flying winemaker Matt Thomson of St. Clair fame. This distinctly off-dry (5.7 grams per litre sweetness) style reflects the dry, sunny and windy 2024 vintage with its ripeness and aromatic intensity. A very charming, sweeter pinot gris which is an affordable guilty pleasure.

Heady, estery aromas of sweet pear and apple blossom soar from the glass. The palate is silky and hedonistic as the mid-weight pear flavours take on some herbal spice and a lightly chewy phenolic edge to balance the honeyed, off-dry finish. Very primary at this young stage, it’s a crowd-pleasing, showy pinot gris which is all about ripe, sweet fruit."

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.
