Fromm Marlborough NZ Pinot Noir The Curation 2021 x 6
Product Description
Grapes sourced from our own Fromm Vineyard (1.9%), from Churton Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley (36.7%) and from two sites in the Brancott Valley, Clayvin Vineyard (22.0%) and Wrekin Vineyard (39.4%). No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. All vineyards certified organic (BioGro).
Winemaking
Hand-picked between March 3rd and 24th. 100% destemmed while retaining a high portion of whole berries. Selected parcels from each vineyard were individually fermented on “wild” yeast and vinified into single vineyard wines, providing the blending components for this Cuvée. Average time on skins between 19 and 28 days. Matured for approximately 17 to 19 months in French oak barrels (less than 10% new).
Winemaker’s comments
A ripe, elegant and complex nose features plenty of floral elements, fresh aromas of dark raspberries and plum, complemented by subtle spice nuances. There is excellent energy and transparency on the
concentrated medium weight palate that concludes in a firm, serious and mildly muscular yet lively and tension-filled finish.
Food match
Beautiful with venison, wild game, beef, lamb, vegetarian dishes, cheese and charcuterie, chocolate,
raspberries and strawberries.
