Welcome to Framingham
With some of the oldest Riesling vines in Marlborough, Framingham planted their first Wairau Valley vines back in 1981. And they've been making wine they love to drink ever since.
The Framingham Estate is accredited as an environmentally sustainable vineyard. This allows them to handcraft award-winning wines that they love to drink.
FRAMINGHAM Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Style: White
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc
Aroma: Fragrant aromas are reminiscent of nettle, currant, sweet passion fruit and dried herbs with some underlying mineral notes.
Taste: The palate is a complex spectrum of flavours from herbal notes to ripe tropical fruit salad including tangy grapefruit, blackcurrant, passion fruit, capsicum and tomato leaf. Good fruit sweetness and soft texture are supported by firm but balanced acidity which refreshes and promotes a long stony mineral finish.
Serve With: Excellent aperitif or seafood wine. Goes well with pasta in pesto sauce and even Thai food.
FRAMINGHAM Classic Riesling
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Style: White
Grape: Riesling
Aroma: The nose is complex with lovely fragrance showing tangelo, honeysuckle, jasmine, green tea and lemon citrus aromas along with some wet stone- like minerality.
Taste: The palate is intense and concentrated yet delicate with tight and juicy acidity showing flavours of clementine orange, lemon curd and stone fruit with hints of ginger, honey and beeswax complete with a stony, mineral finish. Though tightly structured, the wine has a lovely soft feel in the mouth and a lengthy finish.
Serve With: Flavoured seafood and white meat, crab, cauliflower and dim sum.
FRAMINGHAM Pinot Noir
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Style: Red
Grape: Pinot Noir
Aroma: The Wine has a generous nose with black cherry and summer fruit compote notes. Some attractive savoury "Smoky bacon" complexities are present with hints of spice. The nose is complex with attractive savoury notes of smoked meats and spice, along with cherry fruit and herb and floral nuances.
Taste: The palate is concentrated and fleshy with fine silky tannins that are immediately approachable. Rich, savoury meat and game flavours over cherry and plum fruit contrast nicely with supporting cherry oak. Hints of smoke, mushroom and mineral provide some complexity. Fine acid balance promotes a long juicy finish.
Serve With: Red meat with mild flavours, rabbit, veal, duck, goose, mushrooms, smoked salmon, tandoori salmon and grilled scallops.
