Tasting Notes

Expected delivery week commencing 1st July.  "If you crave thoroughly pure, complex, and lavish Pinot Noirs, Burn Cottage’s flagship estate bottling will put you in a blissful stupor. Aside from full-on biodynamics in the vineyard and a scrupulous cellar regimen that would cause a number of Burgundian old-timers to take copious notes, these Pinot Noirs are currently equipped with some of the most doting and consistently high praise of contemporary times” - Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier. 

More Info

Fully Biodynamic from inception, Burn Cottage was a pioneer in Central Otago in the late 1990s. Their ethos lies in minimal intervention winemaking. They believe their task is to discover the genius of the site and of the individual vineyard blocks within. Winemaker Claire Mulholland has racked up years of experience working with Pinot Noir with stints at Domaine Dujac and Domaine de L'Arlot in the Cote d'Or as well as working extensively in Australia, Oregon and, of course, her native New Zealand. This is the crème de la creme of Central Otago Pinot.

FROM THE PRESS

“The 2020 Pinot Noir Burn Cottage Vineyard is not a wine that I want to deconstruct into its components as it exemplifies balance, harmony and completeness, and I want to drink a lot of it. It is a wine that is the sum of its parts rather than its individual elements. It is young and can be approached now, but deserves bottle aging. It is full-bodied and suave but being from Central Otago - at the bottom of the earth next stop penguins - it has a sense of coolness and freshness, enlivening its entirety and retaining a sense of melodic direction among the mellow bass sections. There's a very small percentage of whole clusters (7%) that combine with the natural garrigue notes of Central Otago Pinot to provide herbal lift alongside pure cherry fruit and carefully judged oak. 97 points. Drink until 2035.”
