2023 Framingham Sauvignon Blanc

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.

WINE MAKING

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 component was fermented on skins.  80% of the blend was aged on ferment lees for 5 months prior to being blended and bottled.

TASTE

Expressive aromatics with ripe yellow citrus such as grapefruit and subtle hints of wet stone.  A powerful palate with volume and mouthfeel.  Flavours of passion and stone fruit, sweet herbs and a fine boned acid finish.

FOOD MATCH

All kinds of seafoods, particularly shellfish.  Perfect with salads and light summer fare.
