The style is fresh and focused rather than shouty, with lively acidity and a little extra texture from time on lees. Black Cottage is the project of founder Dave Clouston and winemaker Sanna Stander, based beside Marlborough's Ōpaoa River. It's an easy bottle to reach for when you want classic regional lift with a tidier, more refined shape. Serve it well chilled with charcoal-grilled fish and a herb-heavy chimichurri, or fresh green-lip mussels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 2025, Black Cottage says a cool summer allowed the fruit to ripen gently and evenly, building concentrated, distinctive flavours while preserving freshness. The wine was cool-fermented in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and varietal character, then aged on lees for two months for added texture and complexity. Their tasting note highlights feijoa, elderflower, guava, currant and wet stone, followed by juicy lime zest and an elegant, refined, focused mouthfeel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCandice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews, 93\/100 (2025)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Bright, even, pale yellow.
