FRAMINGHAM F SERIES OLD VINE REISLING 2023

The 2022/23 growing season was one that hung in the balance. A excellent fruit set saw extra work being put in to moderate the crop loads in our premium blocks. Leading into harvest we were pleased to see well ripened clean fruit with great flavour.

Careful fruit selection was required from our43 year old Riesling vines which is all under organic management.  The soils here are made up of fist sized greywacke stones (a hard, dark type of sandstone streaked with quartz and feldspar) mixed alluvial gravel and silts. Vineyard practice for this wine is geared to produce ripe grapes that have had maximum “hang time” on the vine to develop concentrated and vivid flavours.
