Burn CottagePinot Noir
About this product
The fruit for 2019 Burn Cottage Pinot Noir was handpicked at an average Brix of 23.3 from the organic-certified Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn between 30th March and 15th April. Nine vineyard blocks provided fruit for this wine, covering eight Pinot Noir clones (114, 115, 667, 777, Abel, Cl5, 10/5 and 828). Some 13% of the fruit went into the fermenter as whole bunches, and the fruit spent 20 days on average on skins. The wine was raised in French oak (24% new) from the Damy, Mercurey and Sylvain cooperages. Alcohol 14%; pH 3.6; TA 4.9g/L.
Layers of interest with aromatics of redcurrant, bright cherry and floral notes underpinned by savoury hints of tea, earth and fern. The palate is vibrant and focused, supported with seamless balance and finesse. Lovely integration and flow with polished tannins that lend persistence through the palate. Cellaring potential of 8-10 years. – Claire Mulholland, Burn Cottage.

96 points The Real Review
Intense, vibrant Pinot Noir showing real depth and complexity with nuanced floral, dark cherry and raspberry flavours together with thyme, anise, spice and a suggestion of white pepper. A backbone of fruity acidity reveals energy and helps to promote a lingering finish. A serious wine from one of Central Otago’s top producers. 96 points. Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
