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.
The Black Cottage, situated in the heart of the Wairau Valley, is where winemaker David Clouston lives and spends quality time with friends and family. It is also the quiet space in which he contemplates and constructs the very special wines on which he has built a fine reputation.
A warm summer allowed the grapes to ripen perfectly and the cool Marlborough nights harnessed the acidity to keep pace and definition to the wine. Harvested in the early hours of the morning to preserve fruit purity. The grapes were slowly and gently pressed. After a cool, long fermentation the wine was aged on fine lees for 2 months to allow the natural weight of the wine to develop.
This rich and succulent Pinot Gris is filled with vibrant aromas of roses, pear and exotic spices, supported with flavours of stone fruit, ginger and a hint of natural sweetness.
