Fromm, Clayvin Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
Based in the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, Fromm was established in the 90s, undergoing organic conversion in 2005, and has rapidly developed a cult reputation for its range of single vineyard reds & whites. Winemaking is Burgundian, with little more than 3,000 cases produced annually. The vineyards are farmed by hand, grapes hand-picked, whilst in the winery they use wild yeasts, aging in Burgundian oak barrels, bottling with no fining or filtration and minimal sulphur. The resultant wines combine all the elegance, structure and suaveness of Burgundy yet with that signature plushness of NZ fruit, making them very attractive indeed. The Chardonnay is a stunner, with impressive power and depth, yet there is coolness and restraint here too.
Rhys Vineyards Alesia Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay 2019
Pure, delicate and detailed, this Alesia Chardonnay is comprised of a blend of Mt. Pajara and Horseshoe fruit aged for 12 months in barrique, most of which was old. Refined and detailed, with not a hair out of place, this is a translucent and very pure mountain Chardonnay from the Rhys team, citrus flecked with touches of smoke and salt, finishing with a cool note of butter.
