Framingham
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is famous for having a punchy touch. But our interpretation of this timeless classic has hidden depths. There’s a complex soul beneath that wild bravado. Ripe fruit from the Wairau Valley, a touch of skin fermentation, and a quick stint in oak and acacia barrels have added layers of flavor and texture. This is a wine that doesn’t give it all away on the first sip.
Each parcel of fruit is kept separate in the winery. The musts were predominantly fermented in stainless steel using various treatments, however, 8% of the final wine was fermented in oak and acacia barrels. A small portion was fermented on the skins. 50% of the blend was aged on lees for 5 months before being blended and bottled.
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 the aromatic and flavor profile. Consequently, our Sauvignon Blanc is a very food-friendly wine.
Enjoy with sushi, mussels, oysters… Pairs well with all kinds of seafood, especially shellfish, salads, and light summer dishes.
