Fromm Marlborough NZ Chenin Blanc 2023 x 6
Product Description
Grapes sourced from the Wrekin Vineyard in the Brancott Valley. No herbicides, pesticides or systemic
fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. All vineyards certified organic (BioGro).
Winemaking
Hand-picked, fermented using a combination of “wild” and cultured yeasts. Matured on fine lees for 12-14 months in 600L French oak barrels, with a portion in stainless steel to preserve freshness. A further three months elevage in stainless steel to integrate before bottling.
Winemaker’s comments
An open and expressive nose of ripe apple fruit, white florals and a touch of almond flour. The palate is rounded and mouth filling, with bright, lively acidity adding freshness to the notes of conference pear,
apricot and preserved lemon. While there is a touch of something almost-honeyed, the ultimate impression is of warm, ripe fruit and sherbet lemon brightness.
Food match
This wine will pair well with a range of different dishes, due to the balance of ripe – almost rich – fruit, and lively acidity. We would recommend pairing it with flavourful and rich dishes, such as the creamy coconut and seafood of Kokoda, or a comforting tartiflette.
