FROMM Wines, was established in 1992 in Marlborough by Swiss winemakers Georg Fromm and Hätsch Kalberer, and has since gained a reputation for producing elegant, expressive wines with minimal intervention.

Best known for its single-vineyard Pinot Noir, FROMM also produces Syrah, Chardonnay, Malbec, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc, all showcasing the unique characteristics of their vineyard sites.

Their wines are crafted using wild ferments, neutral oak aging, and no fining or filtration, resulting in pure, textural, and balanced expressions of Marlborough’s terroir.
Georg Fromm returned to his family winery in Malans Switzerland in 2008, and today, Today the passion for wine continues, now under the careful eye of old family friend and owner Pol Lenzinger, and is led by winemakers Kalberer and Daniel Ah-Loy, who continue its legacy.

FROMM’s vineyards are planted in alluvial gravel soils with layers of clay and silt, providing excellent drainage and promoting deep root growth. Clay elements retain moisture, adding structure and complexity to the wines, particularly in Pinot Noir and Syrah.

FROMM is certified organic (BioGro NZ) and follows dry-farming principles, meaning no irrigation is used for 60% of the vineyards, encouraging the vines to develop deep roots and extract unique mineral qualities from the soil. They estimate it saves 9.5 million litres of water each year, plus the energy required to pump it.

Grapes are hand-harvested, and no synthetic chemicals or fertilisers are used,
This combination of climate, diverse soils, and organic practices results in elegant, structured wines with a strong sense of place, making FROMM one of Marlborough’s most distinctive boutique wineries.
