The 2021 Fromm Vineyard Pinot Noir is a refined and terroir-driven New Zealand red from Marlborough, showcasing the estate’s signature Burgundian-inspired style with a focus on finesse, texture and balance. Crafted from organically farmed vineyards and handled with minimal intervention, it emphasizes elegance over power.The nose is highly perfumed and expressive, offering red cherry, raspberry and subtle dark fruit layered with floral notes, savoury spice and light smoky nuances.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a silky, delicate texture and fine, polished tannins. Rather than bold fruit intensity, the wine focuses on nuance—showing savoury complexity, freshness and a lifted, almost ethereal quality, leading to a long, refined finish. The style is classic cool-climate Pinot Noir—elegant, restrained and driven by finesse and structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is ideal for customers who appreciate a lighter, more Burgundian style of Pinot Noir rather than a bold, fruit-forward expression. It’s beautifully balanced and already drinking well, but will continue to evolve. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, salmon or mushroom-based dishes.
