Renwick by bike

On our way south we found ourselves in the town of Renwick, pretty much in the bullseye of the Marlborough Wine Region. The weather was perfect, so an afternoon adventure of wine tasting by bike began. At Isabel, our 4th of five vineyards visited, we were told that we couldn't miss the estate of Fromm. The time was 3:47 and Fromm closed at 4pm so we quickly staggered out and raced against a strong headwind, turning into the driveway at 3:57. The cellar door host spotted us and was about to close the door when she realised that I would just cycle straight through it. With some reservation she allowed us to taste some of their wines and we finished off our tour on the peppery note of their syrah.
