Black Cottage Chardonnay 2022 12pack 12.5% 750ml

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Light garnet in colour.

Aroma
Savoury and earthy with bright red cherries, raspberries, and a hint of cinnamon spice.

Palate
The juicy palate flows through to a fruit-driven core of crunchy red currants, dried cranberries, black olive, and suggestions of toasted coconut. A pinot noir with round tannins, good balance, and finesse.

Vinification
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 increased the silky mouthfeel of the wine. Aged with French oak.

Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Winemaker: David Clouston
