Burn Cottage
Moonlight Race Pinot Noir 2023 750ml

“Bright and lifted aromas of strawberries, wild raspberries, citrus peel and cherries on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins giving notes of blackberries, mocha, lead pencil and wet bark. Refined and pure with 5% whole-cluster. Drink or hold”.

James Suckling - 96 points

“The 2023 Moonlight Race Pinot Noir is stalky, spicy and bright, with note of Campari/blood orange that mingle alongside dark chocolate, coffee, blood plum and star anise. If anything, this feels slightly lean rather than plush, but it works well within the scope of the wine. In the mouth, the tannins and acidity work together as one, making this wine feel integrated, serious, and fun, all at once. Recommended. It is very fine”.

A combination of Pinot Noir sourced from our trio of estate vineyards: Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn, and the Sauvage and Sappa Vineyards in Bannockburn. The two Bannockburn vineyards give it lovely richness, black plum, cherry and spice flavours that are balanced by the lively red cherry, cranberries and savoury edge of the Burn Cottage vineyard. We like to think of it as  a vibrant expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir.
