Tasting Notes
Aroma
This Chardonnay opens with vibrant aromas
of fresh lemon zest and a whisper of flinty
minerality. The nose unfolds into a rich
bouquet of ripe white nectarine, toasted
almond, warm spices, and buttery brioche,
subtle vanilla from thoughtful oak aging.
Appearance
A luminous pale gold.
Palate
A silky and velvety palate, with a generous,
mouth-filling texture. Layers of creamy
butterscotch and roasted hazelnut are
beautifully balanced by a line of citrus
driven acidity, giving the wine both energy
and elegance. Concentration is exceptional,
with purity of fruit that reflects meticulous
vineyard work and thoughtful winemaking.
This is undoubtedly one of the most refined
and expressive releases of Black Cottage
Chardonnay to date — a wine that speaks
of craftsmanship, depth, and sophistication.
Vinification
This
Chardonnay was selected from the famed
Rapaura Gravels in Marlborough from old
mendoza vines. Our Chardonnay was hand
picked and lightly whole bunch pressed
directly into 30% new François Fréres and
Mercurey Barrels where it underwent
natural fermentation and partial malolactic
fermentation, before aging on lees for 12
months followed by a light filtration and
then bottling.
