A new way, Novum (meaning new in Latin) represents an up and coming, small producer from Marlborough where Sauvignon Blanc is not part of their repertoire… I know right. Everything about this wine emits class, the stylish bottle, label and wax seal and I haven’t even started on the wine inside. Started by Willy and Rachel Hoare (previously part of Fromm, say no more) who are passionate about Pinot and Marlborough and doing something different, where their love of the soil and the potential of top quality wines in Marlborough is at the forefront of their minds. A breath of fresh air…

savoury, earthy complex aromas of dark berry fruits interspliced with exotic spice, seaweed, forest floor and toasty, vanilla oak. A Burgundy look-a-like, if ever there was.

A rich and robust style that speaks of the soil and the place the grapes were grown. Abundant generous fruit greets the palate with flavours of raspberries overlaid with subtle meat and hints of leather and spice. Wonderful tannins coat the inside of the cheeks bringing harmony, balance and length to the palate. Very stylish from whoa to go. Such delicious drinking now but will age for 8-10years+ if you can resist. Serve with gamey meats and pasta.
