"Funky, complex and vinous on the nose with aromas of red capsicum, lemon rind, and wet stones, punctuated by sulphide-derived characters of gunflint and burnt match. A full-flavoured, rather dramatic wine to taste with a rich, viscous, textural mid-palate and a powerful, punchy, engaging finish. Bravo" NZ Wine Rater, Sauvignon Blanc Tasting 2022
"Aromatic, pungent, pure, ripe, herbaceous and fresh bouquet. Classic and varietal. Flavours on the palate include fresh apple and lemon. there’s a lime and cape gooseberry along with fresh basil and thyme. Acidity is high , core fruit flavours touch the palate in all corners, a lovely example with ripeness and varietal pungency. Best drinking from 2023 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, May 2023
Expressive aromatics, with flint, meyer lemon, and a subtle short bread note. A well-rounded palate with volume and mouthfeel. Flavours of passion and stone fruit, sweet herbs and a fine boned acid finish.
Each parcel of fruit is kept separate in the winery. Juices were predominately fermented in stainless steel using several different treatments, however 8% of the final wine was fermented in oak and acacia puncheons. A small component was fermented on skins. 50% of the blend was aged on ferment lees for 5 months prior to being blended and bottled.
Framingham Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is designed to be typically Marlborough in style, with a few twists. Texture and mouthfeel are as important to us as aromatic and flavour profile. Consequently, this style pairs well with food.
Food Pairing: All kinds of seafoods particularly shell fish , salads and light summer fare.
