Description

Dry

• Dry style
• Citrus fruits

"An enticing, pleasing, complex bouquet with redcurrant, kaffir lime, Thai basi and fennel, with a lovely hint of funk. An elegant, stylish wine, with textural richness, great balance and zesty lemon freshness on the persistent finish. Has a definite touch of class about it" NZ Wine Rater, Nov 2021

Expressive aromatics, with flint, bitter lemon citrus, grapefruit, and suggestions of tropical fruit salad. Rich, fleshy palate with good mouthfeel, texture, and power. Flavours of grapefruit, stone fruit and sweet herbs and pesto. Framingham Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is designed to be typically Marlborough in style, with a few twists. Texture and mouthfeel are important to them as are more savoury elements.

Grapes were grown in eight different sites around the Wairau Valley, Marlborough.

Each parcel of fruit is kept separate in the winery. Juices were predominately fermented in stainless steel using several different treatments, however 10% of the final wine was fermented in oak and acacia puncheons. A small (2%) component was fermented on skins. All portions of the blend were aged on lees for 6 months prior to being blended and bottled.

Food Pairing: All kinds of seafoods, salads and light summer fare.
