Burn Cottage is a family-owned, biodynamically farmed 10-hectare vineyard set in the foothills of the Pisa Range in New Zealand’s Central Otago. The Burn Cottage Estate Vineyard was planted with a mixture of clones and rootstocks on varying aspects, soils, and exposures, all contributing to the complexity of the site, and ultimately the wine. Handpicked fruit is fermented with 10% whole bunches for 17 days before being pressed to French oak barrels (24% being new oak) for maturation.

Expert review

The 2021 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is alive and energetic, svelte and composed. As I write this, I am sitting at the bottom of the Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn, looking up the rows. This is a mineral, nuanced expression, with graphite and white tea, pomegranate pearls, raspberry licorice, rosehips and crushed pink peppercorns. This is what I came here for. It’s thrilling, lacy, delicate and focused. Exciting wine, exciting drinking. It sits on the palate nicely—evenly weighted, and it spools through the long finish... yes! 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork. Drink 2023 – 2036. 96 Points
