Richmond Plains is an organic and biodynamic wine making pioneer producing New Zealand’s first Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from certified Organic and Biodynamic grapes.  We also produce Chardonnay, Rose and Blanc de Noir – Pinot made as a white wine.

We believe in making great wines by working with nature in our vineyard environment.  By using organic and biodynamic methods we can truly express the vineyard’s character or terroir in the wines.

The first wine to be made from certified biodynamic grapes is the 2008 ARIES made from Pinot Noir grapes. ARIES has now been released for sale and is available from the cellar door and selected wine stores for $29.90. Click here to order

Other biodynamic wines coming soon; 2009 Sauvignon Blanc - Pinot Noir – Rose- Chardonnay & Blanc de Noir.  

Richmond Plains has been growing and making organic wine since inception in 1991 and its grapes are certified by BioGro and Demeter New Zealand.

“Richmond Plains Sauvignon Blanc is consistently attractive, weighty, full flavoured, ripely herbaceous and zingy”…

…“Reserve Pinot Noir is full of charm with fresh, smooth cherry - plum flavours.” - Michael Cooper, Wine Atlas of New Zealand.
