The 2020 Curation Pinot Noir from Fromm is bright, supple, and sophisticated. It opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice, layered with hints of dried herbs and earth. The palate is silky and fine-boned, showing juicy fruit upfront, then tightening into a more savoury, mineral edge that speaks clearly of its Marlborough origins. The tannins are gentle but present, giving the wine shape without weighing it down.
One of New Zealand's rising stars, Fromm Vineyards has built a strong reputation for elegant, site-driven wines since its founding in the 1990s. The estate has always leaned towards organic farming and a hands-off approach in the cellar, letting the vineyards do the talking. The Curation Pinot brings together fruit from their top sites, offering a snapshot of the estate’s style: pure, balanced, and confident.
What the critics say:
"Gorgeous nose of wild blackberries, raspberries, cloves, sandalwood and bark. Some iodine, too. Sleek and seductive on the palate with very finely integrated tannins. Very attractive saline edge to the wild dark berry fruit. Drink or hold."
"The 2020 The Curation Pinot Noir is concentrated and plummy, with cherry compote, attar, star anise, licorice and forest floor. In the mouth, there is leather and pressed flowers, bramble and exotic spice. It is concentrated and has that magical pull that good Pinot has. Red-apple acidity defines the finish, as do the chalky tannins. There's a little tweak of rusticity in there, which may bloom or may not, but for now, here, today, I do love this wine as it is. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork."
