Fruit for Framingham’s Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from several vineyards in the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys. The various soil types, including stony, old riverbed, clay and silty loam, all contribute different elements to the blend.

Framingham’s Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is very different in style to the others. This is due to a small percentage of the grapes undergoing fermentation on skins, part of the blend going through fermentation in oak and acacia barrels, and the entire blend spending six months on lees in order to acquire extra layers of flavour and texture.

Based in Marlborough, Framingham is home to some of the oldest Riesling vines in the region, with their first plantings dating back to 1981. Though still focused on Riesling, they now produce a range of wines from their 19.5-hectare estate vineyard, certified organic in 2014, alongside other carefully selected sites across Marlborough. Their reputation is such, that Jancis Robinson has described Framingham as “one of the finest producers of Riesling, both in and outside Germany”.
