Fromm Pinot Noir 2023

The nose is immediately open and expressive, redolent with wild strawberry and autumnal bramble fruits. On the palate, the tannins are finely realised, but firm, underpinning notes of loganberry, rosehip and goji berry. There is a savoury complexity here, which combined with the freshening lift of a vein of pure acidity, gives the impression of a walk in the forest on a crisp cold morning, a touch of woodsmoke in the air and leaves crunching under foot. Food match While you can drink this at any time of the year of course, the immediate pairing that springs to our mind is a warming bowl of French onion soup with gruyère croutons. Alternatively, consider with a juniper-rubbed venison backstrap, served with parsnip purée, roasted cauliflower and buttered greens.
