About This Wine
Early season was somewhat changeable with cool temperatures at times, one impact of this was that flowering extended over a long period. Temperatures rose favourably to bring great summer conditions through January, and February had fine weather interspersed with higher than average rainfall. Mild conditions in March preserved wonderful balance and acidity.
The Riesling and Grüner Veltliner grow in a slightly cooler microclimate near the top of the site, allowing these varieties time for flavour development and concentration.
Tasting Notes
Enticing notes of white peach, with florals of jasmine, lime, white pepper and ginger spice. The palate is richly textural and expressive, with a wonderful chalky mineral element enhanced by skin contact pre-fermentation, and fine supple structure. Lovely persistence through the palate.
About the Producer
Burn Cottage Vineyard is wine producer located in Central Otago wine region of New Zealand's South Island. Established in 2002 by Marquis and Dianne Sauvage in 2002, it produces wine predominantly from the Pinot Noir grape variety.
The Burn Cottage Vineyard wine portfolio is predominantly Pinot Noir, complimented with small quantities of Riesling and Grüner-Veltliner wines in select vintages.
The 24 hectare Burn Cottage estate sits in the foothills of the Pisa mountain range. Pinot Noir covers around 10 hectares of the land, mostly on slopes that face north and northeast. The small plots of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner are planted in a gully on east-facing slopes. The entire estate farmed biodynamically.
In the winery, Burn Cottage relies on natural yeasts for fermentation, and the use of sulfur is limited. A portion of whole bunches are often included to incorporate tannins into the fermenting wine. French oak barrels are sourced for barrel-aging with a portion of new oak selected for each wine.
