Black Cottage Rose

The rosé is a dry style made from Marlborough Pinot Noir. Dave spent time on Corsica, where he picked up methods for French style rosé. Sanna's own shorthand for its character is salinity and spice, which tells you the finish leans savoury rather than sweet. It comes under screwcap at 12.5% alcohol.

Serve it well chilled. The dry, crisp style suits a platter of prawns, a tomato and basil salad, or cured meats and olives on the deck. It also works with grilled fish and fresh cheeses, and it is an easy bottle to open before dinner while the barbecue heats up.
