Black Cottage Pinot Noir 2016
"Sourced from the Southern Valleys with some fruit from the Awatere Valley. This pinot noir went through 100% stainless steel fermentation and was hand plunged. This brought out the perfumed berry fruit as well as increasing the silky mouthfeel of the wine. The wine was then aged for six months with French oak."
