Richmond Plains produced New Zealand’s first certified organic Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wine.

Sauvignon Blanc is ideally suited to the Nelson region where a combination of warm, sunny days and cool autumn nights, help to create the intense varietal flavours for which this flagship New Zealand wine is recognised. 

Tasting:  Fresh herbaceous characters with gooseberry and capsicum notes.  Delicious gooseberry, capsicum, passionfruit and lime / citrus flavours with a lovely background of mineral and nettle tones.  Fresh, fruity & vibrant with good weight and length.   A very versatile and popular wine that complements a wide variety of food styles especially seafood and ideal as an aperitif.  

Vintage:  The old vines are on Scott Henry trellising whilst the new vines were trellised on vertical shoot position. A long sunny autumn produced excellent quality fruit with great flavours.  Fruit was picked on the 7^th of April, crushed and de-stemmed before being cool fermented to preserve the vibrant, fresh Sauvignon characters.

Diet:  This wine is suitable for a vegan diet.
