Fromm's 2017 Malbec shows the power inherent to the variety yet also expresses the cool climate in which it is grown. Opening with dense blackberry/boysenberry fruit and a black olive savouriness the aromas then shift to reveal lifted qualities of purple florals and fragrant sweet spice. The palate shows a lovely weight and concentration of fruit, balanced by a charming elegance & finesse. Not at all shy on tannins (integrated and ripe) and with consummate acidity this wine will surely age well. It also has the ability to comfortably hobnob with rich savoury dishes, especially straight off the BBQ. Made naturally without sulphur. (March 2019)
Estate-grown in Marlborough and hand-picked from mature vines, this red is recommended by winemaker Hätsch Kalberer for drinking with 'a large piece of wild venison'. The 2017 vintage (4.5*) is rare ? only four barrels were made. Oak-aged for 19 months, it has deep, purple-flushed colour. Fresh, spicy aromas lead into a full-bodied, very youthful wine, with strong plum, spice and blackcurrant flavours, good tannin backbone and a long finish. Unusually refined for Malbec, it should break into full stride 2021+. Certified organic.
