Richmond Plains Pinot Gris is a soft, subtle, fruity and elegant wine. Fragrant floral aromas with apricot, poached pear, rockmelon and subtle spice. Hints of Turkish delight and rose petals. A smooth, long lingering finish with elegant weight and smooth flow.

We believe in Working with Nature to find balance in the vineyard and the wines we produce. If we can make delicious wine that is good for you as well as the environment then why not – it just makes good sense. Richmond Plains is a small family vineyard in Nelson owned by Lars and Sam Jensen. Organic since inception in 1991, we produced New Zealand's first certified organic sauvignon blanc and pinot noir wines.

Beautifully ripe fruit was harvested an the end of March. Small berries produced wonderful concentrated fruit flavours which were preserved by fermenting the wine at cool temperatures.

Food Pairing: This approachability makes it an excellent match for many different foods and cooking styles from spicy Asian dishes to grilled seafood.
