We're always on the look out for great value and exciting new discoveries, and we found another with Marlborough superstars Fromm Winery.
Based in the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, Fromm was established in the 90s, undergoing organic conversion in 2005, and has rapidly developed a cult reputation for its range of single vineyard reds & whites. Their top Pinot Noir & Chardonnay are from Clayvin, Marlborough's first hillside vineyard, widely recognised as one of the finest sites in New Zealand.
The Wines
Winemaking is Burgundian, with little more than 3,000 cases produced annually. The vineyards are farmed by hand, grapes hand-picked, whilst in the winery they use wild yeasts, aging in Burgundian oak barrels, bottling with no fining or filtration and minimal sulphur. The resultant wines combine all the elegance, structure and suaveness of Burgundy yet with that signature plushness of NZ fruit, making them very attractive indeed.
