2019 Framingham F-Series Sauvignon Blanc

The Framingham estate was launched in 1994 and produces wines from their 19.5 hectare estate vineyard (certified organic since 2014) and other selected sites.  Framingham’s F-Series Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is different in style from typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs.  This is due to a small percentage of the grapes undergoing fermentation on skins, part of the blend going through fermentation in oak and acacia barrels, and the entire blend spending six months on lees in order to acquire extra layers of flavour and texture.

A fine, expressive Sauvignon Blanc with bright tangerine and grapefruit aromas and underlying rich pear and apple notes. The palate is fresh and textural, full of stone fruit and savoury complexity. Powerful yet elegant, with great finesse.
