Rule No.5: Respect your elders
With age comes maturity, wisdom, and (it would seem) good taste. Every year, our Classic Riesling comes together from our venerable selection of some of New Zealand’s oldest Riesling grapevines. We hand-select small parcels from each long-established vine to get a medley of different fruit characteristics, ranging from Meyer Lemon to Mandarin Orange. The result is as deliciously complex as you’d hope from a life this well lived.
We planted our first vines in the Wairau Valley in 1981, and we’ve been growing grapes and making wine by our own rules ever since. Taking the best of what we learn from the F-Series and incorporating it into the Framingham range, these full-flavoured wines embody subtle nuances, balanced minerality, and mouth-filling textures.
