Burn Cottage ‘Moonlight Race’ Pinot Noir
£47.99
About this wine
Burn Cottage refers to the name of the road on which this 28 hectare property sits in Central Otago. The estate was once a sheep paddock until it was purchased by Marquis Sauvage in 2002. Marquis enlisted Ted Lemon of Sonoma Coast’s famous Littorai as their winemaker and together they decided to plant Pinot Noir in 2003.
‘Moonlight Race’ incorporates fruit from three vineyards; Burn Cottage’s own biodynamic estate (21%), organically managed Northburn Vineyard (20%) and sustainably farmed Mark II Vineyard (59%). The marriage creates a vibrant reflection of classic Central Otago Pinot Noir.
The Pinot Noir was fermented using indigenous yeast and a portion of the fruit was kept as whole clusters. The wine then spent 12 months in French oak barriques in mainly seasoned oak.
Tasting note
This wine has aromas of cherry, rosehip and spices with enticing savoury undertones of truffle and autumnal earth. Supple and elegant on the palate, the wine has good concentration and fine, smooth tannins that lead to a long, lingering finish.
Food pairing suggestion
Smoked chicken, roast lamb cutlets or duck. Don’t be worried to match this with Asian spices as the perfume and fruit will match well. Mediterranean grilled vegetables would be great too.
