Framingham Pinot Gris 2024 Marlborough

Since planting our first vines in the Wairau Valley in 1981, Framingham has been growing grapes and making wine by our own rules. We create a diverse range of distinctive aromatic wines that stand out for their texture, tension, and complexity.  Guided by the expertise of winemaker Andrew Brown and viticulturist James Bowskill, we bring over 40 years of combined knowledge and dedication to every bottle. Certified by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand and Appellation Marlborough Wine™, all Framingham wines reflect our commitment to the environment, with our estate-grown wines holding the prestigious BioGro™ New Zealand organic certification.

We are inspired by Alsatian styles when making this wine. 50% of the fruit was destemmed and kept on skins for 12hrs to impart flavour and texture before the juice was extracted. The remainder was whole bunch pressed giving us some some contrasting components. Juices were treated oxidatively, settles for 12hrs then racked cloudy to seasoned oak barriques (50%) and stainless-steel tanks (50%). Components were aged on full ferment lees to promote mouth feel for 5 months prior to blending.
