Description
"A dense, tight-knit and creamy chardonnay with ginger, toast, sizzled butter and white peach flavours" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2019
Creamy aromatics, with nectarine, hints of citrus and custard on the nose. Richly textured palate with good mouthfeel and harmony. Flavours of stonefruit, oatmeal, stone and vanilla bean yoghurt.
Framingham Marlborough Chardonnay is a wine that relies on harmony between fruit and winemaking technique for its expression.
A mixture of Chardonnay clones are planted on the two sites incorporated into this wine, predominantly 95. Juices, extracted without the use of sulphur dioxide, were fermented 50/50 in both stainless steel and oak barrel. The stainless component underwent malolcatic fermentation and was aged on full ferment lees for 8 months. The barrel component was allowed to ferment spontaneously and was also aged on full lees for 8 months; some malolatic fermentaion may have occurred. Overall, about 10% of the wine saw new oak in the puncheon format.
Food Pairing: All kinds of white meats, rich seafood and fish and chips.
