2019 Framingham Pinot Noir 6 pack

Framingham Pinot Noir leans towards a more savory style displaying grace and charm with strong varietal character and structure to add interest.

WINEMAKING

Fruit comes from four sites in the Wairau Valley, with a mixture of clones being represented. Each parcel was hand – picked and vinified separately; the amount of whole bunch included and time on skins varied according to parcel. Overall the wine has about 10% whole bunch content, an average of 20 days on skins and was aged in French oak barriques for 10 months, of which around 20% were new.

Earthy nose, subtle oak, reminiscent of smoked meat, with light florals and vibrant red and blue fruits. Dark cherry and red berry flavors with savoury mineral/graphite-like notes. Fine, supple, well integrated tannin structure.

FOOD MATCH

Duck, lamb, charcuterie, salmon.
