The 2023 Fromm Pinot Noir is a refined and expressive New Zealand red from Marlborough, crafted in the winery’s signature Burgundian-inspired style with a focus on restraint, balance and terroir expression. Sourced from multiple organically farmed vineyard sites and made with wild fermentation and gentle oak aging, it reflects both complexity and finesse. The nose is lifted and aromatic, offering red cherry, raspberry and crushed petals layered with subtle spice, dried herbs and earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a supple, rounded texture and fine, well-integrated tannins. Juicy red and dark fruit flavours are balanced by fresh acidity and a gentle savoury edge, leading to a long, elegant and finely detailed finish. The style is poised and quietly complex—combining Marlborough fruit purity with Old World structure and nuance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers looking for a more elegant, savoury and Burgundy-leaning Pinot Noir rather than a bold, fruit-driven style. It’s approachable now but has the structure to evolve nicely. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Perfect with duck, roast chicken, grilled salmon or mushroom-based dishes.
