Pinot Noir
Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019
Cellar for up to 15 years. Decant 1 hour before serving.
New Zealand’s Central Otago pushes winemaking to its limits and is home to the world’s most southerly vineyards. Burn Cottage enjoys a particularly important reputation as the first and only Central Otago winery to have practiced biodynamic methods since it was founded. The winery owes its success to the vision of Marquis Sauvage, who purchased 24 hectares of former sheep pasture here in the beautiful foothills of the Pisa mountains, and winemaker Ted Lemon who believes that top quality wine can only be made from top quality fruit.
This is their flagship Pinot Noir which is bottled with an unusual label featuring a 1795 fairy tale called “The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily” which references the harmonious interaction between humanity and nature in biodynamic agriculture. Once in the winery the fruit is treated with minimal intervention with no addition of yeast for the fermentation process and very limited sulphur usage. After vinification the wine is matured in French oak barrels.
Enchanting notes of red plum, orange peel, exotic spice and savoury herbal notes define the nose while the first sip reveals a medium body, smooth tannins and a well-rounded texture. The finish is long and elegant with delicate hints of cinnamon, woodsmoke and rich red fruit flavours.
