Framingham Chardonnay 2023

Framingham Chardonnay 2023

• Region: Marlborough
• Sub-Region: Wairau Valley

Vineyard Sourced primarily from the estate's Wairau Valley vineyards, where stony soils and old vines predominate. Framingham takes an artisanal approach to Chardonnay, focusing on small parcels that show distinct textural qualities.

Wine This Chardonnay is all about texture and "soul." It is fermented in a mix of oak formats and features a complex, slightly savory profile of grapefruit pith, toasted flint, and cashew. It is a sophisticated, dry style with excellent tension.
