Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Expressive aromatics, with flint, bitter lemon citrus, grapefruit, and suggestions of tropical fruit salad. Rich, fleshy palate with good mouthfeel, texture, and power.

Flavors of grapefruit, stone fruit and sweet herbs and pesto.

Enjoy with sushi, mussels and oysters.

Professional Ratings

    Inviting aromas of jasmine tea, white blossom and blood orange. Medium-bodied with a steady and even feel on the palate. Not as exuberant as the palate, but straightforward and tasty all the same. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.

    There's a creative label writer at Framingham: the 2021 Sauvignon Blanc has undergone "a touch of fermentation on the skins, and a quick tour inside the oak and acacia barrels," and this certainly imbues the wine with an interesting element of texture, while the fleshy core is something to sink your teeth into. It's neither restrained nor super-exuberant but offers classical, lightly herbal characters with tropical notes as well as flint and gooseberry. Well constructed, but a little more midpalate concentration and length would elevate this further.

Framingham  Winery Image

In a cluttered wine landscape, Framingham does things differently! With its first Wairau Valley vines were planted back in 1981 on warm, well-drained stony soils, the winery continues to utilize small batch winemaking techniques for depth of flavor and texture. Framingham takes a low-impact approach to vineyard management to restore balance with the land. The team does a lot of work by hand, avoiding systemic chemicals and planting flowers that encourage biodiversity. 

Framingham is the home to the legendary annual Framingham Harvest concert, attended by international vintage workers and locals who come to celebrate in the Framingham winery courtyard. Up and coming bands from New Zealand take to the stage, including Framingham’s very own winery band, Renwick Nudes.

Framingham is accredited as a sustainable vineyard and winery under the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand program, the Estate vineyard is also Certified Organic through BioGro NZ Ltd. It's Sauvignon Blancs are Marlborough Appellation Wine Certified.

Recognized for its distinctively herbaceous and aromatic, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand is perfectly suited to the grape with its maritime climate, plenty of rainfall and abundant sunshine. Producers have almost unilaterally embraced cutting-edge winery technology, resulting in clean, high-quality wines at every price point from wallet-friendly to premium. Sauvignon blanc is at its best in Marlborough but thrives throughout as the country. It is New Zealand’s most planted and successful variety, also accounting for an overwhelming majority of its exports.
