In the Framingham rule book, the Noble Riesling takes full advantage of Rule No.4: Take calculated risks, and boy does it pay off.
Thanks to the stunning grape management of Framingham's viticulturist James Bowskill, this Noble Riesling constantly takes out Bob Campbell's as NZ's best sticky.
This sweet little number from Framingham has been in the limelight for a couple of decades now as a regular 90+ winner, and its worth it! Bob Campbell reackons this Noble drop as one of the best dessert wines in New Zealand, not just once but pretty much every year. So how do the Framingham team do it? Well it's all down to Rule No.4 - Take calculated risks. To craft their Noble Riesling viticulturist James Bowskill takes a risk, leaving the grapes out to get the botrytis, a fungi that shrinks the grape otherwise named as Noble Rot! It's a risk but with huge reward delivering syrup honey & honeycomb with lashings of apricot and citrus flavours.
Unlike Bo and Luke Duke this is one Boss Hogg you want to keep running into. Sourced from three of South Australia's best Shiraz growing regions then combined to generate a full bodied juicy Shiraz.
Fermenting in big 300l barrels for flavour - i'll give you one guess what the name of those barrels are?
