Black Cottage Pinot Noir 2020 13% 750ml

Black Cottage Pinot Noir 2020 13% 750ml

Sourced from the Southern Valleys, this Pinot Noir went through fermentation in open top fermenters, with 20% whole bunch and was hand plunged. This brought out the perfumed berry fruit as well as increasing the silky mouthfeel of the wine. The wine was then aged for three months with a mixture of oak, including 4,500 litre French oak cuves and barrels.

Expert Review:
Sam Kim- 91 points, Attractively fruited and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows sweet plum, toasted nut, mushroom and mixed spice aromas, leading to a succulent palate displaying elegant weight and supple mouthfeel. It's smooth and lingering with youthful tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2024.
