Explore the Excellence of Fromm Marlborough Chardonnay 2022

No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertilizer applied. Vineyard certified organic (BioGro). 
 
Hand-picked on March 20th. Crushed and pressed with stems and fermented in used traditional 228L 
Burgundian barrels to bone-dry. After fermentation matured for a further 20 months on lees in the same 
barrels and allowed to go through 100% malo-lactic fermentation. 

While rather muted on the nose while cold, this wine unfurls in the glass to reveal hints of stone fruit, white 
blossoms and a hint of apricot kernel. The palate shows a concentrated core of just-ripe conference pear, 
white nectarine, framed by a touch of apple-skin phenolic grip. A vein of fine acidity runs throughout, bringing freshness and a sense of poise and balance to this subtle and elegant wine.  
 
In its youth, this wine is showing a fine delicacy to its fruit character, which combined with the freshening acidity makes it a versatile wine across many cuisines. Try with trout “en papillote”, with coquilles saint Jacques, or even simply with alpine cheeses. Our favourite; a caramelized leek and gruyere tart.
