Novum: A Legacy of Experience, A Future of Discovery
Rooted in a Marlborough family that has managed vineyards since the 1970s, Will and Rachel Hoare bring decades of expertise to Novum. After years at Fromm, where Will rose to General Manager, they set out to craft wines that showcase the extraordinary vineyards they’ve long had access to.
Their Chardonnay is sourced from a prized block in the central Wairau Plains, planted in the mid-1980s with the coveted Mendoza clone. Once a riverbed, this site benefits from naturally warm conditions, as exposed greywacke rock radiates heat into the canopy—creating the perfect environment for ripening Chardonnay of depth and character.
Novum isn’t just about the past—it’s about what’s next. Rare wines, exceptional fruit, and a journey worth sharing.
