Rapaura Springs update us on their 2020 Harvest

It’s always enjoyable to receive video updates and messages from our winemakers across the globe with the latest from the vineyards and winery. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve received multiple heart-warming messages from our winemakers, many of which have faced challenges in their harvests and production due to local Government restrictions.

Rapaura Springs, based in Marlborough New Zealand, produce great tasting wines for us including a Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

Matt Thomson, Consultant Winemaker and part of the team at Rapaura Springs, has sent us this video from their Bull Paddock Vineyard highlighting the challenges they’ve faced in the past few months and where they are currently with production. They’ve just finished their 2020 harvest and are in the fermentation process before they begin to blend in the next few weeks.

Watch the video below to see how they’ve been getting on.
