Fromm Marlborough Rosé 2023

Description

Apricot, Dry, Floral

"An excellent bouquet of ripe red skinned fruits from cherry through apple, some tropical fruit notes and wild flowers. Notable texture and dryness with contrasting bright red berry fruit flavours, a touch of quince and apricot, some very fine fruit tannins and lees quality. Well made, dry on the finish and offering great drinking from 2023 through end of summer 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2023

Warm rose-gold in the glass. The nose is subtle, with gentle red-berry-fruit characters, white florals and a touch of summer-warm hay. Dry on the palate, it conjures wild strawberries, with a touch of creaminess giving breadth and balance to a saline fresh acidity. Complete and delicious, with a long and appealing finish, sure to lead to a second (and indeed third) sip. 

Grapes sourced from our own Fromm Vineyard and other sites in the Brancott Valley and Waihopai Valley. No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. All vineyards certified organic (BioGro). All hand picked.

A blend of approx. 90.% Pinot Noir, 4.5 % Syrah, 4% Malbec and 1.5% Viognier hand-picked between March 16th and April 17th, a combination of free-run juice and grapes pressed. The wine was then fermented to bone-dry.

Food Pairing: This fresh and summery rosé is the perfect match with simple seafood and salad, fresh summer fruit, and even just in good company on long, warm evenings. Our recommendation, serve with a tuna niçoise salad and a great view.
