Framingham Marlborough Noble Riesling 2018 (375ml)
"Big, syrupy and concentrated dessert riesling in a beerenauslese style with honey, honeycomb, and exotic tropical fruit flavours supported by assertive natural acidity. Very strong botrytis influence" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2019
Vibrant aromatics, with orange citrus, apricot, marmalade and cream. Seriously concentrated palate with rich mouthfeel and extract, lots of stone fruit and zesty citrus flavours, all held together with bright acidity. Tense, juicy finish.
Framingham Noble Riesling is a sweet, botrytis affected wine, inspired by the classic German "Beerenaulese" style. Botrytis is a fungus that concentrates sugars in the fruit by dehydration and imparts distinctive flavours. The wine is deeply concentrated, yet elegant and not cloying as a result of its vibrant acidity and naturally low alcohol.
Selective hand harvest between 1st and 12th April and 3rd May, about 55% from the "front" old vines, remainder from "back" old vines. Net brix 37 (163 Öchsle). The wine is blended from eight Auslese picks. Vine age 37 years. Bunches were selected with largely 100% botrytis affected berries, though most were in the relatively early stages of dehydration and not yet fully raisined and the remaineder were just turning in colour with early botrytis bloom. So, net botrytis influence is hard to judge, but is significant! Fermented in stainless (60%) and oak barrels (40%).
Food Pairing: A fantastic alternative to dessert, or match with salty cheeses and dried fruits.
