Framingham Marlborough Classic Riesling 2022
- Dry style
- Fresh apple
- Wildflowers
- Vibrant acidity
"Framingham is perhaps the country’s most distinguished riesling producer. Unfortunately Riesling is something of a hard sell in New Zealand, which explains why it is our best-value grape variety. This is a medium-dry Riesling with lime zest, oyster shell and white wildflower flavours supported by vibrant acidity that reacts with a suggestion of sweetness to give a deliciously vibrant character. Good purity and power" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, May 2023
"As the name of this wine suggests there is an abundance of classic fruit and floral aromas including fresh green apple and white blossoms, lime and rose, grapefruit and pineapple. Crisp, lush, salivating, refreshing and dry. Flavours reflect the bouquet with a touch of orange peel and sherbet. Well made with a dry finish, a wine best enjoyed as an aperitif or with fresh seafood and sashimi. Drink well from today through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2022
Aromatics are reminiscent of mandarin pith, red apple and dried stone fruits. Vibrant, intense, focused palate with orange, and stone fruit flavours held together by good line of juicy acidity and elegant texture.
Fruit comes from all four sections on the Estate. Each parcel was hand picked and whole bunch pressed. 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.
Framingham Classic Riesling is a generous, mouth-filling wine (Spätlese halbtrocken in style) with ripe yellow/ orange citrus flavors and juicy acidity. The 2022 vintage was not without it challenges and we saw significant botrytis infection take hold which forced our hand and influenced the style. Fortunately, we are accustomed to dealing with such infections and to use the classic marketing spin this wine “shows the vintage” very well.
Food Pairing: All kinds of pork dishes, other white meats and seafood, or as an aperitif!
