Framingham Marlborough Pinot Gris 2024

Description

Apple, Dry, Nougat

"This is beautifully composed and expressed, with poached pear, rockmelon, Gala apple, and warm-spice aromas on the nose. The palate delivers a fleshy texture backed by bright acidity, making it wonderfully harmonious and supple with a lengthy, delicious finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2025

"Bright, fruity, varietal and fresh. Aromas and flavours of pomaceous fruits including pear and apple then a touch of white spice and stony mineral suggestions. A dry wine on the palate with a fine lees complexity, fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet and acid line to keep the palate salivating and keen. best drinking from day of purchase through end of summer 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2025

Aromatics of red apple, nougat and flinty savoury elements. Intense, richly textured, and supple palate with elements of stone fruit whilst finishing with vivid quartz like persistence.

Framingham Marlborough Pinot Gris draws inspiration stylistically from the Alsace region of France. We focus heavily on the texture by picking grapes late to impart some inherent richness and using seasoned wood and lees aging to enhance mouthfeel.

Handpicked fruit underwent two different treatments. 80% was whole bunch pressed whilst the remainder was destemmed and kept on skins for 12hrs before being pressed off. Juices were treated oxidatively and underwent fermentation spontaneously in old oak barriques (70%) and stainless steel (30%). Components were aged on full ferment lees for 5 months prior to blending and bottling.
