Description

Burn Cottage is one of the most celebrated Pinot Noirs in New Zealand, and this is another tremendous release, that could be enjoyed young but would be best kept in the cellar for a few years.

A biodynamic vineyard from day one, this site has been groomed to perfection to produce Pinot Noir that can rival any in the world. Many believe this to be one of the most impressive versions of Pinot Noir outside of Burgundy.

Planted in only 2003, each year the vines get older, the more intense and complex the wine gets. It's the rare combination of power and finesse that sets the Burn Cottage Pinot Noir apart.

"The 2022 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is light and fine, with a delicate array of cherry, strawberry, red apple and freshly pressed linen notes. Woven throughout is sweet tobacco, graphite, white tea and finely ground pink peppercorns. In the mouth, the acidity works with the tannins to penetrate the palate with flavor, and it has an ethereal quality to it, which marks it as distinctly different from the Sauvage Pinot Noir. This is an eminently pretty Pinot Noir and comes highly recommended. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork."

    EXCELLENT

    A very good wine and much more nuanced than a lot of central Otago pinots. Elegant . Loved it . Hard to get much with husband in tow.

    Spectacular

    Spectacular wine. Truly great example of premium central Otago Pinot. Everything you could ask for in a Pinot, at least as far as my plate extends!

    Stunning!

    Probably could've cellared this for a few years, but curiosity got the better of me! Epic wine and was even better on day 2 of opening.

Precise and perfumed with lovely aromatics of cherry, violets, and spice layered with hints of savoury bramble and a mineral element of wet riverstone. There is a wonderful finesse, layers of interest, and finely held textural tannins extending through the long palate. A wine with vibrant focus, intensity and drive. Cellaring up to 12 years
