Framingham Wines F - Series Old Vine Riesling 2023
From £34.95
Why Mark chose this
Framingham have been making Riesling in Marlborough for long enough that their oldest vines are over forty years old, which is unusual for New Zealand. These old vines give the F-Series a concentration and complexity that most Marlborough Riesling doesn't have. Organically grown, fermented gently, it's a proper wine for the table rather than just an easy drinker.

Tasting Notes
Grapes for the F-Series Old Vine Riesling were organically grown, on a single vineyard planted over 40 years ago in Renwick, Marlborough. Soils are composed of greywacke (a hard, dark type of sandstone streaked with quartz and feldspar) mixed with alluvial gravel and silt. The vines are trained on a two-cane Guyot trellis system with vertical shoot positioning and are naturally low yielding, producing small crops of intensely flavoured grapes. All harvesting is done by hand.
