Marlborough Riesling

Framingham Classic Riesling is a generous, mouth-filling wine (Spätlese halbtrocken in style) with ripe yellow/ orange citrus flavors and juicy acidity. Juices were predominately fermented in stainless steel tanks with a small portion fermented and aged in acacia barrels. All components were aged on full ferment lees without S02 for around 5 months prior to being blended and bottled.

Fruit comes from all four sections on our Estate. Each parcel was handpicked and whole bunch pressed. 42 year old vines; stony, well drained old riverbed with silt and fist sized greywacke stones.

Aromatics are reminiscent of mandarin pith, wet stone and bees wax. Vibrant, intense, focused palate with orange, and stone fruit flavours held together by good line of juicy acidity and elegant texture.

All kinds of pork dishes, other white meats and seafood, or as an aperitif!
