Description
Discover the exquisite Framingham Marlborough Classic Riesling 2023, a distinguished white wine that embodies the remarkable terroir of New Zealand's prestigious Marlborough region. Sourced from the pristine Wairau Valley, this Riesling showcases the expertise and dedication of Framingham winery, resulting in a wine that is both vibrant and elegantly structured.
With a vintage dating back to 2023, this Riesling captivates the senses with its lively profile:
- Aromatics: A bouquet of mandarin pith, red apple, and subtle dried stone fruit aromas intertwine with stony mineral nuances.
- Palate: Experience the bright layers of juicy Meyer lemon and stone fruit, underscored by a refreshing acidity that envelops the palate in a luscious mouthfeel.
- Finish: A zesty, lingering finale showcasing citrus peel and ripe stone fruit, balanced by a gentle sweetness that gracefully fades.
This off-dry Riesling offers an exceptional drinking experience thanks to its careful vinification process. Each grape is handpicked and whole bunch pressed, with a majority fermented in stainless steel. A small portion is aged in acacia barrels, adding depth and complexity. The wine is then aged on its lees, enhancing its character for a period of around five months before bottling.
To fully enjoy the unique characteristics of the Framingham Marlborough Classic Riesling, consider the following serving suggestions:
- Serve chilled between 8-10°C to maintain its refreshing profile and aromatic integrity.
- Present in crystal-clear, tulip-shaped glasses to beautifully showcase its delicate color and concentrated aromas.
- For a garnish, use a thin slice of fresh green apple or a sprig of thyme for a fragrant herbaceous touch.
- Pair with mildly spiced Asian dishes like Thai green curry or Vietnamese spring rolls to complement the wine's aromatic nuances.
- Create a revitalizing white wine spritzer by combining the wine with sparkling water and adding fresh lemon slices and mint leaves over ice.
- For a delightful summer treat, freeze the wine into popsicle molds with hints of peach slices or elderflower syrup.
- At your next garden party, serve this Riesling alongside a cheese board featuring soft goat cheese drizzled with honey and walnuts, blending creaminess and acidity harmoniously.
- Experiment with a unique mocktail by mixing it with a splash of grapefruit juice and a pinch of chili flakes for a refreshing twist.
Elevate your wine experience with the Framingham Marlborough Classic Riesling 2023—a remarkable choice for any occasion, be it a formal dinner or a casual gathering.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of white wine:
- Temperature: Maintain a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) to preserve freshness and prevent premature aging. Avoid fluctuations as temperature swings can expand and contract the bottle and cork leading to oxidation and spoilage.
- Light exposure: Store in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light to prevent degradation of flavors and aromas.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist; prolonged refrigeration (especially in household refrigerators) can dry out the cork. If opened reseal tightly with a wine stopper to limit oxygen exposure.
- Bottle position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist and airtight preventing air ingress and oxidation.
- Humidity: Aim for moderate humidity (around 60-70%) to maintain cork integrity and prevent drying or mold growth on the cork.
- For opened bottles: Keep refrigerated and sealed tightly; consume within 2-3 days to maintain quality as white wines are more sensitive to oxidation than reds.
Following these guidelines will help preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of your white wine.
