Product Description
Ribbonwood is an exciting new initiative from the team at Framingham (Est. 1994); a boutique winery based in Renwick, Marlborough, renowned for the terrific quality of its aromatic varietals. We planted our first Ribbonwood, New Zealand’s tallest native deciduous tree, beside our winery back in 1998. Like our wines, these trees are of strong Marlborough character and unique to New Zealand. At the heart of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley lies the original Ribbonwood Block. Located just north of the Renwick township on Conders Bend Road, the 15 year old vines are planted on an unusual east-west direction, the resulting shade on the south side of each row produces more herbaceous fruit than other sites in Marlborough. The fruit from this vineyard, and that from carefully selected sites nearby, is essential for producing the expressive aromatic and vibrant fruit flavour components for which Ribbonwood wine has become known. The wines | As an expression of Ribbonwood’s ongoing commitment to the environment, Ribbonwood wines are produced in a modern Marlborough style.
Fragrant, perfumed bouquet reminiscent of mandarin orange, white peach and exotic blooms such honeysuckle and jasmine. Hints of green tea, beeswax, smoke and wheat beer add complexity. Gently off-dry, juicy palate with classical Marlborough Riesling flavours of mandarin orange and peach. Finish is mouthwatering with juicy fruit and mineral-like acidity.
