2023 Framingham Pinot Gris
Framingham Marlborough Pinot Gris draws inspiration stylistically from the Alsace region of France. We pick the grapes late to impart some richness and focus heavily on the developing texture by using seasoned wood and lees aging to enhance mouthfeel.
WINE MAKING
Fruit was sourced from 3 different sites. 50% of the fruit was destemmed and kept on skins for 12 hours to impart flavour and texture before being pressed off. The remainder was whole bunch pressed. Juices were treated oxidatively and were racked cloudy. 50% went to oak barriques and 50% to stainless-steel tanks. Components were aged on full ferment lees for 5 months prior to blending and bottling.
TASTEÂ
Aromatics of red apple, nectarine and flinty savoury elements. Intense, richly textured and supply palate with elements of stone fruit and ginger whilst finishing with vivid quartz like persistence.
ACID: 6.0
pH: 3.57
ALC: 13.5% vol
RS:Â 8
