Black Cottage Central Otago Pinot Noir (Sustainable) New Zealand Harvest & Winemaker's notes:Sourced from the Wairau Valley with some fruit from the Awatere Valley. This pinot noir went through 100% stainless steel fermentation and was hand plunged in tandem with delestage. This brought out the perfumed berry fruit as well as increasing the silky mouthfeel of the wine. A large proportion was aged for 10 months in seasoned French oak and equivalents, and was lightly filtered before bottling.
