Wine Spectator: 89 points

This zesty Sauvignon bursts in your mouth with salivating acidity and vibrant concentration. Opening with fresh pineapple flesh, followed by refreshing limes and cut grass. Lime and grannysmith apple typify the mid-palate, leading into a dry finish, which lingers with freshness.

A wine that’s winning lots of awards under the hand of Frank Manifold, previously of Cloudy Bay vineyard, this is the product of a dream 2008 Sauvignon Blanc harvest. Waipara Springs is the new Cloudy Bay at half the price!

"Bright and juicy, with dazzling grapefruit and pineapple flavors, finishing with polish. Only 3,500 cases made." - Wine Spectator (89 points)

Waipara Springs is a boutique vineyard and winery located in the heart of the Waipara Valley. Planted in the early 1980’s the vineyard contains some of the oldest vines in the valley providing the entirely estate grown wines with a depth and intensity that only old vines can produce.
