Aromatics are reminiscent of mandarin pith, red apple and dried stone fruits. Vibrant, intense, focused palate with orange, and stone fruit flavours held together by good line of juicy acidity and elegant texture.

Framingham Classic Riesling is a generous, mouth-filling wine (Spätlese halbtrocken in style) with ripe yellow/ orange citrus flavors and juicy acidity. The 2022 vintage was not without it challenges and we saw significant botrytis infection take hold which forced our hand and influenced the style. Fortunately, we are accustomed to dealing with such infections and to use the classic marketing spin this wine “shows the vintage” very well.

Fruit comes from all four sections on the Estate. Each parcel was hand picked and whole bunch pressed. Juices were predominately fermented in stainless steel tanks with a small portion fermented and aged in acacia barrels. All components were aged on full ferment lees without S02 for around 5 months prior to being blended and bottled.

Food Pairing: All kinds of pork dishes, other white meats and seafood, or as an aperitif!
