"Opulent and unctuous, showing mango, apricot, Manuka Honey and orange marmalade characters on the nose, leading to a powerful yet vibrant palate that offers gorgeous sweetness and creamy mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by bright acidity. It’s superbly balanced while delivering fabulous richness and dazzling flavours" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2020

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 “Beerenauslese” 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 30th April and 16th May 2019. The wine is blended from for Auslese picks, net brix was 36º (158 Öchsle). 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 remainder were just turning colour with early botrytis bloom. So, net botrytis influence is hard to judge, but is significant! Fermented in both stainless and old oak barrels.

Food Pairing: A fantastic atlernative to dessert, or math with salty cheeses ad dried fruits.
