Black Cottage Pinot Noir 2022

Type: Red Wine 

Vintage: 2021

Grapes: Pinot Noir

Origin: Central Otago, New Zealand.

Winery: Black Cottage

Description: The continental Central Otago climate is one of the extremes – the fiercely cold nights and long, warm summer days allow the black queen to display pure, vibrant fruit. From a vineyard in Cromwell, the fruit was handpicked from traditional Pinot Noir clones. The wine was then matured with French oak for 4 months.

Tasting notes: With dark purple hues, this savory pinot noir releases lifted berry fruits and plum aromas with hints of wild thyme and smoke. The palate is full of vibrant boysenberry and dark fruit flavors that fade to smoky notes. Soft acidity and plush tannins contribute to a glossy mouthfeel and a smooth, slightly peppery finish.

Pairing: There are ingredients that will pair with practically any pinot noir-like duck and mushrooms and others, such as salmon or tuna
