"A delicious wine ticking all the boxes of texture and ripeness, flavours of yellow stone fruits and citrus then flavours of peach custard and vanilla. The mouthfeel is excellent with a firmness from the mix of fruit and wood tannins, core fruit intensity and acid line that stretches the across the palate with ease. Taut, youthful and dry with a light chalky texture, a balanced and judicious use of oak; a wine that will develop nice over the next 1-3 years. Best drinking from mid to late 2024 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2023
Aromatics of ripe yellow citrus, nectarine and brioche. A finely textured palate with an array of flavours from Meyer lemon to stone fruits with a lively acid to savour. Framingham Marlborough Chardonnay is a wine that relies on harmony between quality fruit and winemaking technique to achieve balance.
Fruit was sourced from three sites in the Wairau Valley Clones 95 (60%) and Mendoza (40%) where used. No sulphur was added to the juices at the point of extraction which then were fermented spontaneously in a combination of seasoned French oak (90%) and stainless steel (10%). All components underwent malolactic fermentation and were aged on full ferment lees for 10months. Overall, about 20% of the wine saw new oak in 500L puncheon format.
Food Pairing: All kinds of soft cheeses, white meats and rich seafood such as koura (crayfish) and smoked warehou.
