Richmond Plains Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Apple, Dry, Melon

"Fresh and bright, the fragrant bouquet shows green apple, apricot, rockmelon, and lemongrass aromas, followed by a flavoursome palate that's succulent and lively. Fabulously fruited and expressive, offering terrific drinking" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2026

Fresh herbaceous characters with kiwifruit, green apple notes. Delicious gooseberry, capsicum, passionfruit and lime flavours with a lovely background of mineral and nettle tones.  Fresh, fruity & vibrant with good weight and length.

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.

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. 

Fruit was picked in March, crushed and de-stemmed before being cool fermented to preserve the vibrant, fresh Sauvignon characters.

Food Pairing: A very versatile and popular wine that complements a wide variety of food styles especially seafood and ideal as an aperitif.
