2022 Moonlight Race Pinot Noir, Burn Cottage, Central Otago

New release

‘Moonlight Race’ references a water pathway that passes through the Burn Cottage property. It is one of several hundred water channels, or ‘races’, created during the early years of European immigration to bring water down from the mountains. The grapes are sourced from three estate vineyards: Burn Cottage Vineyard (38%), Sauvage Vineyard (25%) and Sappa Vineyard (37%). The three sites are planted on soils combining river silts, loams and quartz sands with broken-down schist and granite.Layers of aroma with dark cherry, florals, rich herbals, cocoa and earth notes. There is a lovely vibrancy to the wine, underpinned with density and mineral, savoury undertones. Supple and textural tannins partner the expressive fruit and extend through the palate.
