Black Cottage Rose

750ml

Black Cottage Rosé is a New Zealand wine that was inspired by founder, Dave Clouston’s long stints in Corsica and the South of France where he crafted fresh, crisp, dry, light pink rosé wines. With a long drawnout summer, without excessive heat waves, Black Cottage Rosé grapes were allowed to gain physiological ripeness at lower than normal sugar levels. Our harvest decisions were made purely on flavour rather brix levels. The wines are light on their feet with expressive aromatics, great energy, and fresh lively acidity with a tight structure on the palate. Treated as a white wine in the cellar, this rosé was fermented cold in stainless steel tank.

Tasting notes: Light copper pink in colour, this is an attractive and stylish New Zealand rosé full of rockmelon, rose petals, and sea breeze aromas. Red berry, spice and Provence herb flavours mingle on an elegant, well-balanced palate. The wine has crunchy acidity with a savoury yet refreshingly juicy finish. A great aperitif
