| Hi Friend
On Friday 24th of June between 5pm and 8pm we will have Fromm wines of Marlborough on tasting. Exclusive to Vine Club members. "At Fromm we believe in quality over quantity. From the beginning we have been very conscientious about the health of our vineyards. We do this not for commercial or publicity reasons but for genuine concern for our lands, plants, environment and the health of our workers. We also believe that organic wines, by virtue of there being no artificial chemical substances put on or near our vines, will be much purer expressions of their terroir and vintage."
|
| | On tasting is: Fromm La Strada Sauvignon Blanc Fromm La Strada Pinot Gris Fromm La Strada Pinot Noir Fromm Chardonnay Clayvin Vineyard
|
| | | Located on the north facing slopes of the Brancott Valley, Clayvin Vineyard takes its unique name from the clay based soil profile that lies beneath the vineyard. The complex clay profile varies across the vineyard, allowing a number of different varieties to be grown, including Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The clay soil gives our Clayvin Pinot Noirs richness and generosity and an immediately appealing soft texture. Clayvin Chardonnay shows a beautiful terroir-related minerality.
High density planting allows us the opportunity to carry very low yields per vine. Low yielding vines tend to produce wines of great concentration and richness.
This vineyard consistently produces grapes of outstanding quality.

It seems like the beginning of Fromm winery happened by chance. It was by chance that 4th generation Swiss winemaker Georg Fromm and his family were travelling around New Zealand and happened to meet, firstly, the Cudden family – a Marlborough family with a small vineyard, and secondly, Hätsch Kalberer a Swiss born winemaker based in Gisborne working for Matawhero winery at the time.
From these initial meetings in the late 1980’s, an idea was born by Georg – to purchase a piece of land and develop a winery, with the help of new friend Hätsch Kalberer who had experience in both the traditional ways of European winemaking and understood the New Zealand way of wine. It seemed like the perfect plan. Two years later in January 1992, after the talking became planning, and the planning then planting, Fromm Winery had officially started.
Since then Fromm Winery has built an international reputation by producing an array of outstanding wines that reflect both European style and kiwi ingenuity.
Today the passion for wine continues, now under the careful eye of old family friend and now owner Pol Lenzinger and Swiss business partner Georg Walliser. Georg Fromm has moved his focus back to the family winery in Malans Switzerland.
