Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Richmond Plains 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.

All Richmond Plains grapes are grown on our own vineyard. Both the growing of our grapes and winemaking are certified organic by BioGro New Zealand.

Nose: Fresh herbaceous characters with gooseberry and capsicum notes.

Palate: Bursting with delicious gooseberry, capsicum, green apple and limey/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 seafood superbly, many other differing food styles or is lovely as an aperitif.

Vegan: This wine is suitable for vegan diets.

Vintage: A hot, dry summer contributed to an early harvest with good quality fruit and excellent flavours. Fruit was picked in mid April.

Wine Making: All fruit was crushed and de-stemmed before being cool fermented to preserve the vibrant, fresh Sauvignon characters.
