Fromm Pinot Noir Churton Vineyard 2016

Fromm Pinot Noir Churton Vineyard is a single-vineyard Marlborough Pinot Noir from a high ridge in the Waihopai Valley.

The Churton vineyard sits high on a ridge in the Waihopai Valley, part of Marlborough's Southern Valleys, where the winery works an east-facing block on clay. The aspect catches the morning sun but escapes the full heat of the afternoon, which favours Pinot Noir with elegance, intensity and structure. The grapes are organically grown and picked by hand, and the wine is bottled on its own to capture the character of the site. The 2016 shows dark red fruit, wild strawberry and plum, aromatic spice and a savoury edge, with pretty fruit and layered tannins, and it has now had several years to develop in bottle.

Serve at around 16 degrees. Now showing some age, it is lovely with roast quail, duck confit, lamb or a mushroom and thyme tart.
