Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is renowned for its bold character, but our interpretation of this timeless favorite offers more than meets the eye. Beneath its initial intensity lies a nuanced complexity. We've incorporated ripe Wairau Valley fruit, a hint of skin fermentation, and a brief maturation in oak and acacia barrels, introducing additional layers of flavor and texture. This wine holds its secrets, revealing its true essence gradually rather than all at once upon the first sip.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Framingham Sauvignon Blanc offers a complex nose of citrus and tropical fruit aromas, underpinned by a hint of fresh herbs.On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and well-integrated, displaying zesty lime peel and grapefruit flavors that are rounded out by a pleasant herbal note. The finish is crisp, elegant, and refreshing.
