Weingut Fromm, Malans

Even my great-grandfather Bartholomäus Fromm produced wine from our vineyards. In 1912, the "Schöpfiwingert Pino Noir" was awarded gold for the first time at a gastronomy trade fair.
In the meantime, much has changed - only the vines have remained. I took over the management of our winery at the young age of 18. Starting a family and the longing for the wide world moved Ruth and me in 1991 with a lot of enthusiasm to build a second winery in New Zealand. Since then, I have been a wine walker in two worlds.
New Zealand paradoxically opened my eyes to Burgundy. The contacts with Burgundy winegrowers and the experience with a Henry Jayer wine finally shook me awake.
At the age of 55, I have now decided to devote myself entirely to the Swiss company in Malans again. I sold the winery LaStrada in Marlborough, New Zealand in 2007. About my favorite vineyard Clayvin Vineyard, which I kept, I did not completely break the barriers to one of the most beautiful islands in the world.
The Malanser winery is with 4.5 ha a medium-sized family business. The main part is still the noble plant, the Pinot Noir vine.
