Sourced from organically certified vineyards in Marlborough, Fromm’s Spätlese-style Riesling is harvested late to allow greater flavour concentration while retaining acidity. A gentle press and slow fermentation in stainless steel preserve clarity and vibrancy. Bottled with natural residual sugar in the classic German Spätlese tradition, this wine offers elegance, not excess.
Bouquet Aromatic and pure, with notes of lime zest, jasmine, white peach and hints of fresh herbs and wet stone.
Palate A graceful balance of sweetness and acidity defines the palate, with layers of lemon sherbet, green apple and ripe mandarin. A long, crystalline finish tinged with mineral lift and floral persistence.
Food Pairing An ideal match for spicy dishes like Szechuan chicken or green papaya salad. Also wonderful with smoked fish, creamy cheeses or fruit-based desserts.
Cellaring While drinking beautifully in its youth, this wine will develop complex toasty and honeyed nuances over the next 10 to 12 years.
Interesting Fact Fromm is one of Marlborough’s pioneers of organic and biodynamic viticulture, producing wines with a strong sense of place and purity since the early 1990s.
