2022 rimapere baron edmund de rothschild single vineyard marlborough sauvignon blanc

Description

Outstanding Kosher Marlborough NZ Sauvignon Blanc

The name of the property, Rimapere was a deliberate choice. It means “five arrows” in Maori and simultaneously honors the Rothschild family’s coat of arms and traditional New Zealand culture. Benjamin de Rothschild dreamed of creating his own sauvignon blanc wine. He had to find the perfect gem and corresponding jewelry box for a precise wine-growing endeavor, far from the industrial vineyards also present in Marlborough. Ideally located in the prestigious area of Rapaura, the Rimapere vineyard spans 24 hectares: 20 for Sauvignon blanc, 4 for Pinot Noir.

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, along with a long intense, concentrated finish.

Kosher, Kosher for Passover. Mevushal.
