Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough - 2023
The Rarangi vineyard in the Lower Wairau Valley is noted by its maritime influence in denser soils resulting in forward aromatics with a boxwood and straw characteristics in finished wines. The site in the Wairau Plains is a stony, low-vigor vineyard growing grapes contributing bold stone fruit character. The third vineyard for Rain is Ben Morven, one of the north-facing vineyards in the Southern Valleys. This site is planted mostly on alluvial soils with a higher proportion of clay moving up the surrounding hills. Grapes from this vineyard have notably tropical aromas such as pineapple and passionfruit.
