Tasting Notes
This is our single-vineyard selection from the Sauvage Vineyard in Bannockburn. The vineyard itself is located under hills once prized for gold in this region, now cloaked in wild thyme and rosehip. The land below is widely sought after for Pinot Noir, and the foothills are now framed with vines. Bright red fruits and floral notes evolve into darker plum, blackberry, tapenade and a touch of pepper. There is a richness to the palate, with supple texture, integrated oak and a fine balance. Vibrant and delicious now, the layers of interest, mineral focus and silky tannins will also be wonderful to enjoy with cellaring. – Claire Mulholland, Burn Cottage
At Burn Cottage we believe in minimal intervention winemaking. Our task is to discover the genius of the site and of the individual vineyard blocks within and to allow the wines to reveal it. We believe in minimizing sulfur usage and avoiding all additives whenever possible. We avoid the use of cultured yeasts, bacteria, associated nutrient products and filters. We avoid racking whenever possible and do wine work according to lunar and celestial rhythms. - Winery Note:
