Another over delivered Rapaura Reserve wine with a non reserve price.

"Our Rapaura Springs Reserve Chardonnay is rich and flavourful. Each bottle is bursting with honeysuckle, white peach, nectarine and fresh citrus, all complemented by toasty vanilla and subtle spiced oak characters." Winery

"This is splendidly expressed on the nose with ripe apricot, rockmelon, vanilla and roasted cashew aromas, leading to a silky-smooth palate that's juicy and rounded. Wonderfully composed and delightfully expressed with succulent fruit flavours and creamy texture, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2026." 5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, March 2023 (2022 Vintage)

"A very enticing bouquet of complexity and power, aromas of white fleshed stone fruits with a lemon seam, then scents of gun flint and stones, baking spices from barrel highlighting a cashew nut and vanilla combination layering in complexity. Delicious on the palate with a satin-cream texture touching first then contrasting acid line and flavours that mirror the bouquet. Vanilla spice and gunflint, a freshness and youthful energy. A modern expression, well made and lengthy. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2029." Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2023
