"At Black Cottage we are dedicated to producing sustainable New Zealand wines full of ‘gusto’. Selecting unique parcels of fruit from Marlborough, Central Otago and Hawke’s Bay, we strive to create very special wines which are approachable and delicious." The continental Central Otago climate is one of the extremes – the fiercely cold nights and long, warm summer days allow the black queen to display pure, vibrant fruit.

TASTING NOTE

With dark purple hues, this savoury pinot noir releases lifted aromas of raspberry and dark cherry with hints of iodine and black olive. The palate is full of kirsch cherry and cassis flavours, umami, liquorice and a sprinkling of dried herbs. A focussed frame and crunchy tannins contribute to a glossy mouthfeel and a slightly peppery finish.

Food Pair with chargrilled meats and game dishes.

Alc: 13%
