FROMM Malbec Fromm Vineyard 2020

Deep inky/black colour that leads to a vibrant and penetrating, dense nose of dark fruit, wild berries and cassis aromas with an underlying earthy complexity. The palate is ripe, concentrated and focused with strong tannin support, that will require 2 to 3 years to integrate into a fully balanced and harmonious wine, even though it is already very enjoyable with some hearty comfort food. In short, a high intensity, cool climate “tour de force” Malbec, combining restrained power and elegance.

No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertilizer applied. Vineyard certified organic (BioGro).

Hand-picked on April 8th . Destemmed, “wild” yeast fermented with a high portion of whole berries. 27 days total time on skins. Matured for 23 months in used Burgundian oak barrels and bottled without fining or filtration.
