Back to nature at Richmond Plains »

by Deborah Walton-Derry & Peter Morice » The Marlborough Express July 2011

Lars Jensen and his wife, Sam, believe in working with nature – so it's hardly surprising they have been described by some as "environmental idealists". The couple own Richmond Plains, an eight-hectare vineyard near Nelson. The vineyard has been certified organic since 1992 and, in 2008, became the first New Zealand vineyard to carry both organic and biodynamic certification... » read more

angove 2010 organic shiraz cabernet

great introductory price » new vintage » save $18 per case

mixed case $12.50 » straight case $138 ($11.50pb)

region » riverland, SA
classification » organic, vegan

review » This blend, sourced from selected certified organic grape growers in South Australia, is a deep crimson red with a strong showing of purple. The spicy aroma - with prominent dark berries - is intense but not cloying. This full-flavoured wine is peppery and has a little gusto without being intimidating. An enjoyable drop and well-priced. 7/10 » Shaun Viljoen Geelong Advertiser Jun 2011

review » Fresh, dry & crisp on the palate. The Wild White has plenty of citrusy character with some white pear & spicy floral to make it a delightful way to while away the afternoon. Ripe with some flesh to round it out & a satisfying length. Drink this with friends or with food – either way – drink it to enjoy it.

tasting notes from the winery » Rich cherry red in colour, it has a nose of dried spice with lifted notes of black plums with hint of mocca.

battle of bosworth 2009 sauvignon blanc

stock clearance » save $78 case » unbelievable bargain

mixed case $13 » straight case $138 ($11.50pb)

region » mclaren vale, fleurieu, SA
classification » organic, vegan

review by organic wine june 2011 » The nose has an attractive herby fennel character and some mineral hints. The fresh palate delivers with mouthwatering acid and lovely texture with a bit of viscosity. Not all Sauv Blancs give you satisfaction in the middle of winter, but this one has the palate weight & complexity from a couple of years age to make it a worthy option. Don't serve it too cold, I tasted it at room temperature and it was perfect. » read more
