Description
The Framingham Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a stellar example of Marlborough's iconic style, offering an aromatic bouquet brimming with ripe citrus, including grapefruit and lemon, alongside tropical notes of pineapple, passionfruit, and a touch of guava. Subtle hints of wet stone and fresh herbs, such as sage, add depth and intrigue to its expressive nose.
On the palate, the wine is juicy and fleshy, delivering a vibrant mix of stone fruits and sweet herbs, all supported by a fine, crisp acidity that carries the flavors beautifully through to a long, pure finish. A small portion of the wine undergoes fermentation in oak and acacia puncheons, adding complexity and texture without overpowering the freshness. This Sauvignon Blanc excels in its balance, concentration, and mouthfeel, making it a perfect companion for food or enjoyable on its own.
