You could say this is the ultimate insider’s wine. It’s a newbrandmade by highly experienced Marlborough winemaker William Hoare, who was the original winemaker and then GM at Fromm. Novum is his new brand. It is named after the Roman word ‘novum’,meaning new. The grapes are from Dog Point’s Settlement Vineyard, which is certified organic. It’s tight, youthful, medium bodied, silky in texture and will age superbly.
