New Zealand

Marlborough, New Zealand. Straw green. A bouquet of ripe citrus fruits with nuances of white blossom against concentrated yeast characters derived from extended contact with lees in old barrels. Complex full bodied wine with excellent balance enhanced by a degree of minerality and a chalky texture...

Central Otago, New Zealand. Domaine Thomson began in 2000 when David and PM Hall-Jones purchased their block in Central Otago, naming it after David’s great great grandfather "Surveyor Thomson” who explored and mapped Central Otago in the 1850’s...

Marlborough, New Zealand. A more old world style wine with more texture and complexity compared to the pure styles of Riesling we make for the Framingham bottling. A little bit of extra hang time on our oldest vines, hand harvested, bunch pressed with no juice clarification, fermented with uninoculated yeasts and left on lees for 11 months prior to bottling. Harmless crystals may form in the bottle...
