Black Cottage Marlborough Rosé 2024

Description

Dry, Lemon, Pomegranate

"Elegant and finely scented, the bouquet shows ripe strawberry, pomegranate, crunchy apple and lemon zest nuances, leading to a lively palate that's juicy and vibrant. It's delicately expressed with a lengthy, crisp-dry finish. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2024

"A very expressive bouquet with scents of fresh strawberry and cherry, there’s a tropical fruits quality and red apple sking seam. Crisp and dry with a core of fripw fruits reflectiove of the bouquet, plenty of acidity for backbone and energy. Super fine fruit tannins with a fine lees complexity adding texture and style. Best drinking from 2024 through end of summer 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2024

"Bright, even, pale blush-pink. The nose is gentle, with aromas of red berries, watermelon and rich floral. Medium-bodied, aromas of cherry and red berry entwined with watermelon, rose and a touch of zesty spice. The juicy fruit possesses a vibrant drive along a zingy acid line, lending an appetising, refreshing closing" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Oct 2024

This wine has a beautiful salmon colour. The aroma is a lovely combination of rosewater, red liquorice, fennel, and sea breeze. The palate has a delicate balance of red berries, watermelon, spice, and Provence herb flavours. The taste is refreshing and juicy, with a subtle savoury undertone and a perfectly balanced crunchy acidity to finish

2024 was an exceptional growing season in Marlborough ideal conditions resulting in highly concentrated fruit with distinctive flavors, producing pure wines with lifted aromatics, lively acidity, and great energy. Inspired by founder Dave Clouston's long stints in Corsica and the South of France, our Rosé is Mediterranean in style; it is fresh, crisp, dry, and light. It was achieved by fermenting it at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks to maintain its fruit purity and varietal character.
