Black Cottage Ros 2025 12.5% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

This wine has a beautiful salmon colour.

AROMA

The aroma is a lovely combination of rosewater, red liquorice, fennel, and sea breeze.

PALATE

The palate has a delicate balance of red berries, watermelon, spice, and Provence herb flavours. The taste is refreshing and juicy, with a subtle savoury undertone and a perfectly balanced crunchy acidity to finish.

FOOD MATCHING

Most enjoyable when shared with friends while enjoying a delicious charcuterie board.

VINTAGE NOTES

The 2025 growing season kicked off with a warm spring, leading to excellent flowering conditions and healthy yields. A cool, wet summer was followed by dry and warm conditions in February. This allowed for optimal harvest conditions for ripening fruit. As a result, the fruit had vibrant acidity and great concentration, with excellent balance, reflecting the region’s signature style.

VINIFICATION

Inspired by founder Dave Clouston’s long stints in Corsica and the South of France, our Ros is Mediterranean in style. Fresh, crisp, dry, and light, achieved by fermenting in cool stainless steel tanks to maintain its fruit purity and varietal character.
