Overview

• Ideally located in the prestigious Rapaura sector, the Rimapere vineyard benefits from an exceptional terroir. The cool climate of this region is ideal for the production of Sauvignon Blanc (20 hectares, first vintage 2012). It gives this grape variety its freshness, with a pleasant acidity and the typical aromas of lemon and grapefruit.

Tasting Notes:

• Rimapere delivers pronounced aromatics of lemon peel,  sage, ripe lemon, passion fruit, grapefruit, pine needles and steely minerality. The palate despite being vibrant and fresh, has a rich texture. There is wonderful purity and complexity and a long intense finish.
