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.
Vina Cobos Vinculum Chardonnay 2019
This Vina Cobos 100% Chardonnay comes from vineyards in Tupungato and Tunayán, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, planted at elevations between 3,330 and 3,845 feet above sea level. The semi-desert climate and cool nights promote even ripening, while heterogeneous soils of sand and rocky patches on steep slopes ensure excellent drainage and minerality. Winemaking Following traditional white wine fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a portion of the wine is aged for 12 months in new French oak, while the remainder remains in steel. Around 15% of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. Bottled unfined. Tasting Note The wine displays an intense yellow colour with green highlights. Aromas of white flowers, green apple, pear, and subtle white chocolate are complemented by a structured, mineral-driven palate that culminates in a long, elegant finish. Food Matching Pairs perfectly with roasted or marinated grilled chicken and vegetables, as well as pasta in creamy sauces.
