The Rossendale wine brand of Brent and Shirley Rawstron focusses on good value varietal wine. Although the Rawstrons are based in Christchurch with their administration, function centre and a 6.0 ha vineyard, the majority of their wines come from their 35 ha of vineyard in the Rapaura district of Marlborough. The wines are made at the Spring Creek custom crush facility, and exports count for most of the production. Here, I review a new style for Rossendale, a Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. www.rossendale.co.nz
