ROHE RAPAURA SAUVIGNON BLANC

RAPAURA SUB-REGION

one of the oldest and most recognised sub-regions of Marlborough, formed on the floodplain of the Wairau River. Our vineyards are located in the eastern part of Rapaura, with deep, even, fertile soils which grow strong vines that can be dry-farmed.

TASTING NOTES

Vibrant aromas of black and white currant follow through to the palate with a layer of stone fruit and refreshing acidity. This wine is immediately appealing but will continue to evolve over the next five years.

VINTAGE REPORT & WINEMAKING

2025 was a vintage where patience was rewarded. Spring's warm weather created ideal growing conditions and abundant crop loads, which we carefully reduced to enhance fruit quality. January's cool temperatures extended the fruit ripening period, enhancing pallet weight and aromatic intensity. Benefiting from ideal weather, we commenced harvest in mid-March, methodically working block by block as each reached optimal conditions. Once harvested, the fruit was gently pressed. Juice was fermented in stainless steel, with selected yeast strains to enhance aromatics, thiol development and palate weight. After fermentation, the best parcels were selected before the wine was kept on lees for three months, prior to bottling.
