Near the town of Blenheim, on the South Island of New Zealand, lies the Rapaura sub-region. The flatlands of Rapaura consist of riverbeds and sandy loam soils. To the south, the hilly area of Brancott has glacial soils and better water-holding capacity. This racy, single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc comes from the Fitzroy Vineyard, which physically straddles both regions and 100% drives this style. Showcasing fresh herbs, gooseberry, mineral, and passionfruit notes from Rapaura, and the wine's creaminess and weight coming from Brancott.

Pale straw in color. Aromas burst from the glass including ripe pear, apricot, and a lifted note of passionfruit. Beautifully layered, with hints of Asian spice adding intrigue. The palate is vibrant and alive, mouth-watering in its intensity, carrying flavors of makrut lime, hibiscus and fresh herbs. The wine dances across the palate with energy and poise, finishing bright, persistent, and endlessly refreshing. Pair with oysters, goat cheese, grilled fish, or lightly spiced dishes. Drink now through 2030.
