Fromm Marlborough Chenin Blanc 2020

Description

• Bone-dry style
• Subtle florals
• Minerality
• Firm acidity

The colour is pale yellow with a greenish hue. On the nose this wine could easily be mistaken for a Chablis with its austere, cool nose, chalky minerality and subtle floral notes, which follow through on the saline-inflected palate that is focused and tight structured without being forceful or aggressive. The wine is uncompromisingly dry with firm but moderate acidity, resulting in a refined texture on the long and refreshing finish, perfect with freshly shucked oysters.

This Chenin Blanc comes from the Wrekin Vineyard in the Brancott Valley.

No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertilizer applied. Vineyard certified organic (BioGro).

Hand-picked between March 29th and April 13th. Crushed and pressed with stems and fermented to bone-dry, then matured on fine lees for 12 months in a combination of stainless-steel tanks and old Demi-Muids (600L French oak barrels). Vegan friendly.

Food Pairing: Beautiful as a pre-dinner drink, with all kind of seafood, cold cheese and meat platters, summer meat fish and meat salads, Pasta and Vegetarian food.
