Cottage Block is the affectionate term our winemakers bestow on special rows of vines in a vineyard that produce the most outstanding fruit.

Only in the very best years will the winemaker personally select the grapes for this range, before gently crafting them into limited-edition wines of exceptional quality.

Vintage:	2006
Colour:	Dense garnet/purple
Aromas:	Attractive blackcurrant and dark, forest berry characters
Palate:	Rich and warming with lingering, concentrated and sweet fruit flavours and firm, yet silky tannins supported by highly-integrated savoury oak

This wine will reward careful cellaring for at least eight years from its year of vintage.

“Cottage Block Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2006: It might seem expensive, but this is a classy wine from the resurgent Corbans stable - a pure gold medal and trophy winner at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards that's a typically rich, round, nuts-and-grapefruit Hawke's Bay chardonnay.”
Warren Barton - Dominion Post (19 January 2008)
