The Rapaura Springs Rohe series Sauvignon Blancs have become benchmark sub-regional wines and none more so than this Dillons Point. The vines are along the confluence of the Wairau and Opawa Rivers, near Marlborough’s coast. The combination of deep, young, mineral-rich alluvial silts, layered over sand and the sea-salt laden air give the wine a distinctive character which is very appealing. Like the previous vintages this will be one of the standout Sauvignon Blancs from 2024.
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"This wine oozes ripeness, with intense passionfruit and blackcurrant flavours, that combine with a salty minerality unique to Dillon's Point. This wine is immediately expressive but will continue to drink well for the next three years.
Dillon’s Point is defined by the confluence of the Wairau and Opawa Rivers, near Marlborough’s coast. The sub-region has deep, young, mineral-rich alluvial silts, layered over sand, which our Sauvignon Blanc vines thrive on."
95/100 Susie Barrie MW & Peter Richards MW (UK), Susie & Peter New Zealand Wines of the Year 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"What we love about this wine is its limpid translation of pristine, ocean-influenced Dillons Point fruit into bottle. It’s elegant and grassy, yet with plenty of paprika and white stone fruit concentration. The acidity is spine-tingling and the finish long and saline."
Judges' Comments – IWC 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"Nose taut and aromatic, full of passion fruit and meyer lemon. The palate is juicy and full of seductive lime juice flavours."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"A delicious wine with the signature of Dillon Point Vineyard in play – aromas and flavours of prince melon and sandy soils, a saline quality surrounds flavours of white peach and mandarin, red apple and a soft natural fruits spice. Crisp and dry with a core of fruit then mineral and salty edges, balanced and ready to drink form 2025 through 2027."
