Burn Cottage
Sauvage Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 750ml

"The 2022 Sauvage Vineyard Pinot Noir is darker in the glass compared to the Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir of the same vintage. Here, the nose leads with dried herbs and cranberry, black cherry, pomegranate molasses, dark chocolate and raspberry notes. There's also nori, sweet tobacco and sage. In the mouth, the wine is ripe and plush with chewy tannins and a substantive, fulsome sort of impact. This has loads of everything, including length of flavor. This is a bigger wine than last year's offering, which will please many. I love single-vineyard wines, the lens through which we can view the year that made them and the strength of the site, above all". 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork.  Drink 2024 - 2037. 95 Points - Erin Larkin - Wine Advocate

"Impressive for its fresh, vivid flavors of black cherry preserves and red licorice, with notes of star anise and Earl Grey, plus muscular, firming tannins. There’s plenty of harmony and length on the finish, where toasted herb accents of rosemary linger". Drink now through 2037.

When we first saw this 6ha vineyard on Felton Rd in Bannockburn, our gut feeling was that if we didn’t buy it, we would forever be burdened with buyer’s remorse. As it’s turned out our instincts were right, and this unique site, is delivering us Pinot Noir with complexity, opulence, richness and concentrated black plum, cherry and spice flavours. All the benchmarks of Bannockburn Pinot Noir with cellaring potential (10+ years).
