Black Cottage

Nestled amongst vineyards, native plantings, olive trees, a cricket ground and lying alongside Marlborough’s Ōpaoa River, Founder Dave Clouston and Winemaker Sanna Stander use the black cottage to host international guests and friends alike. 

As a family run winery, sustainability is at the core of everything for Black Cottage. In Marlborough the vineyard’s goal is to boost biodiversity, increase habitat for native bird life and improve soil health. They succeed that by being part of the Sustainable Winegrowers New Zealand program. Moreover they use environmentally friendly light weight bottles to reduce carbon emissions. Most of the wines are vegan friendly from the 2020 vintage
