Burn Cottage Description
Early season was quite changeable with cool temperatures at times, accompanied by regular rainfall in November and December. One impact of this was that flowering extended over a long period. Temperatures rose favourably to bring good summer conditions through January, and February had fine weather interspersed with higher than average rainfall. Conditions were mild in March, with some cooler days, and the fruit benefited from a slow extended ripening preserving balance and acidity.
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
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2022 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is light and fine, with a delicate array of cherry, strawberry, red apple and freshly pressed linen notes. Woven throughout is sweet tobacco, graphite, white tea and finely ground pink peppercorns. In the mouth, the acidity works with the tannins to penetrate the palate with flavor, and it has an ethereal quality to it, which marks it as distinctly different from the Sauvage Pinot Noir. This is an eminently pretty Pinot Noir and comes highly recommended.
13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.
