Black Cottage Chardonnay (750ml) is a wonderfully crisp, expressive, and lively white wine that showcases the vibrant climate and bright fruit characters of Marlborough. Crafted by founder Dave Clouston and winemaker Sanna Stander, this flagship drop shifts away from traditional, heavy oak dominance to focus on energy, fruit purity, and elegant texture. Fermented cool and aged thoughtfully with light lees contact, it delivers a punchy, modern, and highly refreshing profile that captures the breezy, easy-going soul of New Zealand's premier wine region.
Modern Marlborough Purity
By blending select fruit from the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, Black Cottage creates a Chardonnay of exceptional balance. Rather than overpowering the wine with new wood, the winemakers use a combination of stainless steel and seasoned oak barrels to gently round out the texture. This builds a supple, fleshy mid-palate while preserving the wine's bright stone fruit flavours and signature, mouthwatering acidity.
Tasting Notes
  • Aroma: A brilliant pale straw-gold colour in the glass. The nose is highly aromatic and fresh, bursting with fragrant aromas of sliced nectarine, crunchy yellow apple, and citrus blossom, layered over a subtle backdrop of toasted cashews and a hint of wet stone minerality.
  • Palate: Fleshy, juicy, and light-to-medium bodied. The palate enjoys a vibrant core of ripe peach, grapefruit zest, and lemon curd, supported by a smooth, gently texturing mouthfeel from fine lees contact.
  • Finish: Dry, crisp, and exceptionally clean. It tapers off into a long, uplifting finish driven by a precise line of refreshing fruit acidity and a lingering, subtle touch of savory spice.
