The 2017 Fromm Malbec “Fromm Vineyard” is a rare and highly regarded New Zealand Malbec from Marlborough, crafted from organically farmed, low-yielding vines. Produced in very limited quantities, it reflects Fromm’s philosophy of precision, minimal intervention and terroir expression. The nose is dense and complex, offering blackberry, boysenberry and black cherry layered with notes of black olive, violet and sweet spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a concentrated yet refined texture and ripe, structured tannins. Dark fruit, spice and savoury elements are balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish. The style is distinctly cool-climate—combining Malbec’s natural power with finesse, freshness and clarity.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Malbec for customers looking beyond Argentina into a more elegant, terroir-driven style. It’s rare, structured and built to age, offering a unique take on the varietal. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12+ years. Perfect with beef, lamb, venison or rich, savoury dishes.
