Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 Central Otago New Zealand 750ml

Enticing lifted floral notes with blue and red fruits, hints of pepper spice and orange
zest accompany the characteristic wet stone and mineral elements from this vineyard.
Supple and seamless with lovely palate length and structural tannins framing the
wine. Enjoyable over the coming years, this wine will also reward cellaring to 10-12
years.

The 2021 vintage had a very warm dry spring, although a little frost fighting was
required during some colder weather systems. Changeable weather also affected flowering
in some blocks and resulted in smaller crops. Much of the season had a high diurnal range with low overnight temperatures. Significantly, rainfall was limited, with approximately one third less annual rainfall in January. From February conditions settled with favourably warm
and dry weather returning through to harvest.
