Tasting Notes
Two-thirds of the fruit came from the Burn Cottage Vineyard, with the balance grown on the Northburn and Mark II sites. The fruit spent an average of 17 days in the fermenter, followed by 12 months in cask and tank. The wine shows exotic notes of orange zest and cherry liqueur leaping from the glass. On the palate the wine is wonderfully understated and elegant with soft, supple tannins. Bright acidity lends balance and freshness to the long finish. - Ted Lemon
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:
