Rule No.2: Go your own way
Framingham Pinot Noir leans towards a more savoury style displaying
grace and charm with strong varietal character and structure to add
interest.
Winemaking
Fruit comes from four sites in the Wairau Valley, with a mixture of
clones being represented. Each parcel was hand – picked and vinified
separately with wild yeast cultures. Whole bunches (15% overall)
were included in the ferments on a batch-by-batch basis to add
aromatic lift and subtle savoury characteristics. After spending an
average of 21 days on skins each batch rested for 10months in French
oak barriques, 20% of which were new. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Taste
Earthy vibrant nose, subtle oak, reminiscent of smoked meat, with
light florals and vibrant red and blue fruits. Dark cherry and red berry
flavors with savoury mineral/graphite-like notes. Fine, supple, and
poised with a well integrated tannin structure.
Food Match
Duck, lamb, charcuterie, smoked salmon.
2022 Framingham PN was vibrant in terms of its Hue. It has a lovely light ruby red with a freshness of dark cherries and Ripen strawberry. It was light on the palate and the finish was both fruity and a touch of spicy note characteristics on it.
I enjoyed the PN together with my Ramen. The soup base dish with salt components brought out more flavours from the PN.
Outstanding pinot not to be missed.
We love working with Framingham, great people and great wine!
Have had Covid .erk, sense of taste missing in action. Will get back to you re Pinot once this has passed.
