Black Cottage is a Marlborough brand focusing on accessible, well-made wines that showcase the region's signature styles. This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from vineyards across Marlborough, where warm days and cool nights preserve acidity while building flavour intensity. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and varietal purity. The 2024 vintage delivers bright aromatics and lively fruit.
Passionfruit, grapefruit and gooseberry with lime zest and fresh-cut grass. Medium bodied with crisp acidity and a clean, refreshing finish. Classic Marlborough Sauvignon character with tropical exuberance balanced by citrus zip. Fruit-forward and straightforward with good purity. Uncomplicated and easy-drinking.
Serve well chilled (6-8°C). Versatile with grilled fish, seafood, salads, goat's cheese, or works as a refreshing aperitif. This is about immediate enjoyment and vibrant fruit. Drink within a year while it's fresh and lively.

As a family run winery, sustainability is at the core of the Black Cottage ethos - they focus on sustainable, small-batch winemaking and are part of the Sustainable Winegrowers New Zealand programme. David Clouston – founder of the Black Cottage Winery – worked for a number of years at wineries in the USA, France, Spain and Chile before returning to his native Marlborough. He now lives in a wooden cottage in the Wairau Valley that is painted black, after which the winery is named. At the end of 2019 Black Cottage implemented lightweight bottles, designed to reduce the carbon footprint of transportation and from 2020 vintage, most wines are vegan friendly. The Sauvignon Blanc for this wine is sourced from Wairau and Awatere valleys giving a sophisticated, elegant style with mineral notes, fresh acidity and tropical fruit.
A truly iconic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The benchmark of the unique Marlborough style that helped create the legendary reputation of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
