Rapaura Springs

2007

The Rapaura Springs story begins with two families brought together by premium Marlborough produce. Together they have forged a strong friendship and business partnership.

The Neylon family have a long, proud association with premium exports from the Marlborough region.

They were early pioneers of the green lip mussel industry and the first family to grow, process and export this premium product in the early eighties. In 1985 they purchased prime vineyard land in the Rapaura and Dillons Point subregions and started a business partnership with the Wiffin family.
In 2007, the first wine was produced under the Rapaura Springs brand. Since then, the brand has grown to be exported to more than 15 markets around the world.
