Why shop with us?
Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 is a beautifully poised expression of Central Otago, one of the world’s most compelling Pinot Noir regions. Biodynamically farmed and crafted with a clear focus on site expression, it combines precision, elegance, and real depth, making it a standout wine for collectors and Pinot Noir lovers alike.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a refined ruby-red hue with impressive clarity. The nose is highly expressive, offering red cherry, forest raspberry, cranberry, wild strawberry, rose petal, and subtle layers of herbs, tea leaf, orange zest, and mineral nuance.
On the palate, the wine is silken and focused, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and cool, pure fruit framed by understated spice and earthy complexity. The finish is long, saline, and layered, with the kind of structure and energy that suggests excellent ageing potential over the coming years.
Production
Sourced from Burn Cottage Vineyard in Central Otago, the wine comes from terraced vineyard sites near Cromwell, where altitude, a continental climate, and poor soils help shape Pinot Noir of notable finesse. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically, and the fruit is hand-harvested with strict selection before fermentation with native yeasts and minimal intervention. It is matured in French oak barrels with a moderate proportion of new wood, allowing the wine’s fruit, structure, and terroir to remain at the forefront.
Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir is an excellent match for duck, lamb, veal, mushroom dishes, truffles, game birds, grilled salmon, and aged soft cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider decanting for 30–45 minutes if enjoyed young to help the aromas open up fully.
Producer
Burn Cottage has earned a strong reputation as one of Central Otago’s benchmark Pinot Noir producers. The estate is known for its biodynamic approach and its commitment to transparent, terroir-driven wines, and its bottles are widely admired by critics and collectors for their balance, purity, and ageing capacity.
