Framingham's Rieslings are among New Zealand's best and that Alsace style extends to this classy Pinot Gris. Partially fermented in large-format old oak vessels before seven months on lees, it is concentrated and weighty – like honeyed peaches and cream in a sweet pastry case – cut through by bright, cleansing acidity.
