Fromm, The Curation Pinot Noir 2020
The 2020 Curation Pinot Noir from Fromm is bright, supple, and sophisticated. It opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and a touch of spice, layered with hints of dried herbs and earth. The palate is silky and fine-boned, showing juicy fruit upfront, then tightening into a more savoury, mineral edge that speaks clearly of its Marlborough origins. The tannins are gentle but present, giving the wine shape without weighing it down. One of New Zealand's rising stars, Fromm Vineyards has built a strong reputation for elegant, site-driven wines since its founding in the 1990s. The estate has always leaned towards organic farming and a hands-off approach in the cellar, letting the vineyards do the talking. The Curation Pinot brings together fruit from their top sites, offering a snapshot of the estate’s style: pure, balanced, and confident.
Lyme Bay, Pinot Noir 2024
Bright cherry red in the glass, this 100% Pinot Noir is packed with vibrant red fruits, layered with a touch of vanilla oak, soft herbs and gentle spice. Cherry, raspberry and redcurrant lead the way on the palate, with a hint of mulberry and a subtle earthy, mushroom note adding depth. It’s concentrated yet refined, with a smooth texture and a nicely lingering finish. Made from fruit sourced across several top Essex sites — Crouch Ridge Estate, Tudwick Hall, Riverview, Crows Lane and Martins Lane — it shows just how far English Pinot has come. Great with lamb and spot-on with game dishes.
