The 2024 FROMM Riesling Spätlese is a vibrant and expressive Marlborough white crafted in a German-inspired off-dry style, showcasing the winery’s signature balance of purity, texture and precision. Made from organically grown Riesling, it highlights the interplay between natural sweetness and bright acidity.The nose is highly aromatic and lifted, offering fresh lime, green apple and white nectarine layered with white blossoms and a distinct mineral edge.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with a gentle sweetness balanced by vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. Juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavours are complemented by subtle notes of honey, sherbet and a light spritz, leading to a long, fresh and finely balanced finish. The style is elegant and refreshing rather than heavy, with low alcohol and a beautifully poised sweet–acid balance typical of Spätlese wines.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers who enjoy off-dry Riesling with precision and energy rather than overt sweetness. It’s incredibly food-friendly and versatile, offering both immediate charm and aging potential. Drink now or over the next 8–10+ years. Perfect with spicy Asian cuisine, pork, fresh cheeses or as an aperitif.
