🇳🇿 Waimea Plains & Nelson Wine Guide 🍇✨

The Waimea Plains were once low-lying riverbeds—and “Waimea” even means “river garden” in Māori! 🌊🌿 Though rainfall here is relatively high 💧, the highly drainable soil requires irrigation. Wines from this area are typically light-bodied with fresh, fruity profiles 🍋🍒—bright and lively! Nelson is best known for its Sauvignon Blanc 🥂, followed by Pinot Noir. Wines from the Moutere Hills offer rich, full-bodied Pinot Noirs with intense fruit flavors, mature silky tannins, and often a spicy oak influence 🍷🌳. They're high in quality—and yes, a bit pricier too 💰✨.! You can: Admire the stunning Tasman Bay 🌊 Try thrilling skydiving 🪂 or rock climbing 🧗‍♂️ Go horseback riding 🐎 or charter a boat 🚤 Perfect blend of nature, flavor, and adrenaline! 🌿🍇❤️ #NewZealand #Nelson #NZTravel #WineLovers
