• Region: Marlborough
• Sub-Region: Rapaura (Jacksons Road)
• Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc

Vineyard From Riverby Estate on Jacksons Road, Rapaura, next door to Cloudy Bay. It is farmed by descendants of the Matthews family, who have worked the land for over 100 years. Fruit comes from selected low-cropping rows: 30-year-old vines on their own roots, younger replanted vines, and a block with classic Rapaura character. It was harvested in the cool of night and mostly fermented in stainless steel with a small portion in aged oak. The 2023 vintage had mixed weather from January, then perfect conditions for slow ripening in the final two weeks.

Wine Brilliantly aromatic, with green rockmelon, kiwifruit, lime peel and white florals. The palate is flavoursome, with terrific fruit power and drive, and it's drinking well now.
