Description
"Terrific wine from not the easiest of vintages, but selective picking, years of experience and a passion for making this style of riesling have clearly triumphed. The wine has lovely purity and tension with lemon, lime, floral and mineral flavours. Should develop well in bottle" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Mar 2019
Framingham Select Riesling is inspired by the classic German “Spätlese” style with vibrant aromatics, with mandarin, Mayer lemon, beeswax and suggestions of raspberry ripple ice cream. A seriously concentrated palate with red fruits, orange citrus and stony mineral textures. A tense, juicy finish. The wine is serious but delicate and light on it’s feet, with naturally low alcohol and great tension between residual sugar and acidity.
Selective hand harvest on 8th April at 21.3 brix (91 Öchsle), from the “front” old vines, 5% botrytis on average in each cluster was tolerated in this pass, bunches being selected by appearance. Only bunches that were a rich bronzy gold on the front were taken. Bunches were pressed whole and the resultant juice fermented cool in stainless steel.
Food Pairing: A fantastic aperitif, or match with spicy foods such as Thai.
