2022 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir, Burn Cottage, Central Otago
‘Burn Cottage Vineyard’ Pinot Noir comes from the eponymous site, made with 7% whole bunch and around 26% new oak. Complex with dark cherry notes, violets and bright florals complimenting earthy, flint mineral tones and darker savoury character. Layered on the palate, this wine has a wonderful suppleness and depth of interest with expressive fruit and fine sinewy tannins. The palate shows length and concentration, and while delicious now, there is a definite promise of more with time.
