Black Cottage Pinot Noir 2022 Marlborough – 12 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION: At the Black Cottage, we are dedicated to producing a range of wines full of ‘gusto’. Combining select parcels of fruit with modern and alternative winemaking techniques, we strive to create very special wines which are approachable and delicious. Sourced from the Wairau Valley with some fruit from the Awatere Valley. This pinot noir went through 100% stainless steel fermentation and was hand plunged in tandem with destaging. This brought out the perfumed berry fruit as well as increasing the silky mouthfeel of the wine. A large proportion was aged for 10 months in seasoned French oak and equivalents and was lightly filtered before bottling. TASTING NOTES: Colour is garnet. Displaying strawberry briar notes with cinnamon and anise. Intense yet beautifully balanced with baked plums and spice. The fruit is supported by fine grain tannins and integrated acidity with lovely flesh and fruit singing on the finish.
