Pinot Noir
Initially we planted Fromm Vineyard with eight different red grape varieties that we suspected would do well in the Marlborough climate. Over time the Pinot Noir grape has proven to be one of the most exciting, yet elusive grape varieties to grow.
Our passion for Pinot Noir is reflected in the attention to detail shown in the vineyard and throughout the winemaking process. Carefully selected clones, rootstock, together with Intensive vineyard care and low cropping allow the vines to produce fruit that illustrates the terroir in which they were grown. Today in the Fromm stable of vineyards there are eleven clones, 4000 - 5000 vines per hectare with crop levels around 5 - 6 tonnes/ha or 30/35 hl/ha.
One of the aspects of Pinot Noir that make the variety so intriguing is the way that the variety changes depending on the terroir in which it is grown. At Fromm we embrace this aspect by producing three terroir driven wines – Fromm Vineyard, Clayvin Vineyard and Brancott Valley.
Pinot Noir . Fromm Vineyard
A classic Fromm Vineyard Pinot Noir does not fit the New World profile for this variety. It is a multi-layered wine, very concentrated without appearing big or heavy, with positive tannin support. Restrained and often unyielding in its youth, this wine may require 3-6 years of cellaring. At its best it shows a masculine charm with a distinct terroir related identity, aging superbly.
Pinot Noir . Clayvin Vineyard
Clayvin vineyard draws its name from the clay soil which lies beneath the vineyard, and is characterized by its beautiful, ripe dark-fruit flavours, richness, elegance and fine texture. It combines everything expected from a top quality New Zealand Pinot Noir.
Pinot Noir . Brancott Valley
Brancott Valley is one of Marlborough’s most expressive sub regions for Pinot Noir. Fruit taken from two vineyard sites produces wine with a fine texture, flavour density and elegance.

Food suggestions
The multi-layered nature of this masculine yet refined Pinot deserves a special culinary match.- Duck confit, pheasant or lamb
- For example a gently roasted saddle of fallow deer or a Chateaubriand for two (whole beef fillet).
- Or imagine a Tournedos Rossini (thin médaillons of beef fillet interlayered with foie gras and truffles)
- Mushroom risotto
