2020 | Framingham | F-Series Old Vine Riesling

A deliciously balanced "old-world" style of Riesling. The nose has aromatics of white peach and floral notes with underlying complex mineral tones. The palate is intense with rich, balanced flavours of orange, citrus, and exotic fruits. This is tempered by a gentle pink grapefruit pith and a fine, balanced acid profile.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Intense bouquet - pure, ripe, complex, fruity, detailed and enticing. Aromas and flavours of preserved lemon and sour peach, apple and fresh roses, honeydew melon and white spice. Fresh, vibrant, tense and youthful - high acidity contrasted by a core of citrus and mineral flavours, honeysuckle, roses, lemon and stones.

Producer Information

The award-winning Framingham wines are crafted from full-flavoured fruits grown in the eco-friendly vineyards of Blenheim in New Zealand. The best feature about these wines is that only organic viticulture techniques are used for producing them. Known for its rich and expressive wine range, the Framingham wine brand makes the best use of the different terroir qualities in New Zealand. Grapes for this brand of wines are sourced from different vineyards, thereby adding a distinct texture and character to the wines produced here.Known for making limited quantities of wines, this brand currently cultivates varietals such as Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer, Montepulciano, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The Riesling Vines were planted as early as 1981 in the Wairau Valley by the person who created the Framingham brand, Rex Brooke-Taylor. The alluvial-rich soil in Wairau Valley has made it one of the high-potential Riesling growing regions in Marlborough. The grape varietals that we mentioned above are cultivated by expert viticulturists in 12 contract vineyards in the Wairau Valley. Biodynamic principles are employed on these vineyards as chemicals aren’t used at all by the Framingham team during the winemaking process.
