FRAMINGHAM

Framingham is a boutique winery and aromatic specialist, hand-crafting wines from some of the oldest and best vineyards that the world-renowned Marlborough region has to offer. Framingham Wines Limited derives its name from the village of Framingham, located in Southern Norfolk in the UK. This small village was the ancestral home of the company’s founder, Rex Brooke-Taylor. The original vines of the Framingham estate are believed to be the first to be planted in Marlborough on phylloxera resistant rootstock.

All of the Framingham wines are made with care, taking time to bring out the full flavours and subtle nuances the environment offers – minerality, mouth-filling texture, complex flavours, and elegant structure. Framingham has established a reputation for producing outstanding aromatic varietal wines and their Rieslings are a trademark of the winery's excellence.

Andrew Hedley

Originally from Gateshead in the north of England, our winemaker Dr Andrew Hedley was drawn to Framingham in 2001 by his love of Riesling. With a degree in Applied Chemistry, Andrew completed a PhD in organic chemistry in 1993 before moving to New Zealand with his wife Debra and turning his focus to winemaking in 1998. He has been involved in 13+ vintages in Marlborough. After overcoming throat cancer in 2006, Andrew returned to work with renewed focus and a even stronger sense of purpose. His strongly individual winemaking has built on the groundwork of his predecessor Ant McKenzie.
