We tried it and we were blown away. So it's all over, we said, that's what's left! Because it has all the fruity and delightful aromas of red fruits, with a slightly spicy sensation and a subtle saltiness that you will love. Its acidity gives it extra freshness and we tell you that if you try it, this bottle will stay, but certainly empty from the first half hour!
In Marlborough, New Zealand, next to the Ōpaoa River, Dave Clouston has created a fairy-tale space, which is truly located among vineyards and fields of olive trees. The whole "little house on the prairie" is black and the winery's name couldn't be more. He is influenced by the style of wines of France and more specifically of Provence, which justifies the years he spent there studying the culture of winemaking. Winemaker Sanna Stander adds her touch and expertise and the result is fresh, strongly aromatic, and incomparably refreshing wines!
The grapes come from Central Otago and Hawke's Bay, while the cultivation is done with absolute respect for biodiversity and are members of Sustainable Winegrowers New Zealand.
Black Cottage Rose was made from Pinot Noir grapes and a small percentage of Pinot Gris. The year was the best of the decade, and the grapes ripened perfectly and acquired aromatic intensity. The juice remained in contact with the pips for a very short time, which is why it has a soft rose color. The vinification took place in stainless steel tanks, which preserved the freshness of the fruit, while the short stay with the lees gave body and an even more interesting dimension to the wine.
We don't need to say anything else, try it yourself!
