Black Cottage Marlborough Chardonnay 2019
- Oaked
- Toasty vanilla bean
- White peach & apricot
- Roasted cashew
"It's splendidly fruited and inviting on the nose showing apricot, fig, vanilla and roasted cashew characters, leading to a gorgeously expressed palate that's succulent and creamy. The wine offers lovely fruit purity together with elegant complexity, finishing wonderfully long and attractive" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2020
Bright hay in colour, the bouquet has white peach and apricot aromas, mingling with toasty vanilla bean and burnt lemon butter notes. Undertones of hazelnut husk, almond blossom and lemon balm come through. The palate has finesse and is well-balanced with great freshness, focus and crystalline acidity.
A warm, dry Summer lead to an early harvest with pristine fruit, small berries, and great concentration. The rare Swiss clone 2/23 Chardonnay grapes were sourced from a single vineyard in the Wairau Valley. The wine was fermented on light solids, followed by full malolactic fermentation before being oak aged for 4 months.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with fish or cream based dishes.
