The 2022 season was not without challenges with significant rain events leading into harvest. Careful fruit selection was required from two sections of organically grown vines around the winery (90%) and Andalane vineyard further down Conder Bend Road a mere 500m from the estate. Soils here are of the old riverbed type with fist sized stones composed of greywacke (a hard, dark type of sandstone streaked with quartz and feldspar), mixed alluvial gravels and silt. Consequently, vine canopies lack vigour, the fruiting zone is more exposed to the elements and yields are naturally lower. These factors produce an atypical style of Sauvignon Blanc.

Aromatics are reminiscent of mandarin pith, wet stone and bees wax. Vibrant, intense, focused palate with orange, and stone fruit flavours held together by good line of juicy acidity and elegant texture.

The Seresin Marlborough Pinot Gris 2023 is a stunning representation of the renowned Marlborough region in New Zealand.

The pale golden color is inviting and hints at the delicacy of the wine. On the palate, the wine unfolds with layers of crisp green apple, juicy pear, and a touch of honeyed sweetness. The subtle acidity balances perfectly with the creamy texture, leading to a long and refreshing finish. This Pinot Gris is a perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes, especially grilled salmon or scallops. It also pairs beautifully with creamy pasta dishes and soft cheeses. Overall, the Seresin Marlborough Pinot Gris 2023 is a beautifully crafted wine that showcases the best of Marlborough. It is a must-try for any wine enthusiast.

Fromm's passion for Pinot Noir is reflected in the attention to detail shown in the vineyard and throughout the winemaking process. Carefully selected clones and rootstocks, together with intensive vineyard care and low cropping, means the vines 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 five to six tonnes per hectare. The blend which makes up each years La Strada Pinot Noir by Fromm depends on what nature has given in each of their vineyards. Invariably, the wine is strongly varietal, fruity and has immediate appeal.

Anna and Jason Flowerday run the Te Whare Ra vineyard in Marlborough according to organic and bio dynamic practices. The fruit is picked and sorted by hand, then processed in a winery especially designed for small-batch wine making.
