Description

"Tantalising sweet/acid balance followed by flavours of citrus blossoms and ripe green apples, also hints of minerality. Light, crisp and slightly tart finish. 

Another cool season, delivering Rieslings of pristine purity and extraordinary structure and finesse. At present the 2004 Auslese is still in its delightful fruit phase. The wine starts off with a tantalising, crisp sweet/acid balance followed by flavours of citrus blossoms and ripe green apples. There is a hint of minerality and a positive mouth-drying tartness in the aftertaste."

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Fromm

Staying true to the roots of their European founder Georg Fromm, the winery strives to make wines that reflect the vineyard in which the vines are grown. Founded in 1992, Fromm is quietly developing a reputation for crafting distinctive, single vineyard wines that illustrate their integrity, terroir and character. A committed winery team has helped build this reputation by showing strong attention to detail in the vineyard and through their belief that healthy grapes, free from harmful residues, make better wines. All Fromm wines are certified organic.

--------THE REGION--------

Marlborough

New Zealand's answer to Napa Valley, Marlborough accounts for the majority of New Zealand's vines and wine production. Over 75 percent of the vineyards are planted with Sauvignon Blanc and it is where this varietal really shines. The region is also home to New Zealand’s small sparkling-wine industry, using the traditional method to vinify Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
