Framingham Wines
Select Marlborough Riesling
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Pale lemon yellow in colour. Aromatic notes of stone fruit and white flowers. On the palate peach and citrus notes. Noticeable residual sugar (only 8.5% ABV). Many would pick this as Germanic - an excellent Spatlese style from the new world. Bob Campbell MW from NZ said “closer to the Alsace model than the Mosel model “ which is interesting. Also interesting is that this wine comes from Marlborough better known as a major centre for Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc.

Sep 14th, 2023Pale to mid Lemon in colour. White flowers and you can smell the slatey minerality. On the palate peach and mineral. Made in the German Spatlese style with only 8.5% Alc. In a blind tasting many, including me, would pick this as German Austrian or Alsatian. My favourite New Zealand Riesling Producer.
