WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Framingham Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is produced using small-batch winemaking techniques, with grapes sourced from various sites within Marlborough and each parcel kept separate. Predominantly, the juices are fermented in stainless steel tanks. A portion, typically 8-11%, undergoes fermentation in oak and acacia puncheons, and a small component may also be fermented on skins. For enhanced mouthfeel and texture, 50-80% of the blend is aged on lees for several months. Framingham Wines is committed to sustainable farming practices, holding certification from Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand.
