    The Burn Cottage Moonlight Race Pinot Noir 2021 is a vibrant and mineral-driven wine from Central Otago, blending fruit from the estate's Lowburn and Bannockburn vineyards. It offers fresh red fruit aromas with hints of lavender and cherry cola. The palate is sappy, with fine tannins, balanced by savory spice and a dry, long finish. This vintage stands out for its depth, approachability, and cellaring potential, making it a great value. Enjoy now or hold for further development.

    The 2021 Moonlight Race Pinot Noir is a blend of three different vineyards and multiple blocks and clones (56% is Burn Cottage in Lowburn, 22% is Sauvage Vineyard and 22% is Luna Vineyard in Bannockburn). On the nose, there is fresh red cherry, plum skin, raspberry pip and brine. The tannins are super fine in the mouth—pulverized and chalky. This is a gorgeous wine, mineral and cooling, with a svelte shape and satisfying flow of flavor across the tongue. Great! And, it must also be said, great value. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

    Lots of boysenberry and strawberry aromas and flavors with an underlying smoky and mineral edge. It’s full and layered with beautiful tannins and a long and flavorful finish. A little tight at the end. Gorgeous and curated. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    A blend of fruit from Burn Cottage’s Lowburn home vineyard and Bannockburn vineyards, this is the first vintage bottled under screwcap. Bright, very fragrant nose, lots of red fruits and spice, lavender and cherry cola leads to a sappy vibrant palate, with good freshness and immediacy. Nice weight on the palate, the sweet fruit edges softened by savoury spiciness and fine-grain tannins. Long dry finish. This is the wine to enjoy while you tuck away the Single Vineyard bottlings.

    Closure: Screwcap

    Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

    The First Burn Cottage Moonlight Race Pinot Noir under screwcap delivers you rich black Doris plum / dark berry fruit flavours and succulent tannins from the Sauvage Vineyard that are beautifully tempered by the floral, crunchy red fruit and savoury edge of the Burn Cottage.

    Vintage Notes: 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.

    Winemaker Tasting Notes:
    From vintage 2018 our Moonlight Race has been solely about our two unique estate vineyards: Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn, and Sauvage Vineyard in Bannockburn. The combination of these two sites produces a vibrant expression of classic Central Otago Pinot Noir.
    Bright notes of cherry, florals and pepper spice are accompanied by rosehip and savoury earth characters. There is a lovely concentrated core supported by supple texture, and fine tannins extending through the palate. Approachable now, and with cellaring potential to 7 years.
