Burn Cottage
Sabines Selection Pinot Noir 2022 750ml Limited Release
A Rare and limited Release
The 2022 season brought an ideal balance of warmth, cool nights, and steady ripening — conditions that revealed something distinctive in two small parcels from a block within of our Lowburn vineyard, where the vines draw their character from a seam of clay running through the base of the Burn Cottage vineyard.
The fruit showed such unique character, clarity and depth that it deserved to stand alone. Bottled separately, Sabine’s Selection captures a singular expression of site and season.
Fragrant with violet, wild thyme, and spice, the palate is finely layered with red cherry, plum, and savoury nuance. Silky and persistent, it reflects both place and patience.
A potential one-off bottling, from an excting vintage.
The 2022 Sabine Selection Pinot Noir comprises a selection from the vineyard grown on clay in the home block that looked particularly special that vintage. The wine is perfumed and floral, with a milk chocolate splay of creaminess through the finish that distinguishes it from the other cuvées from this season. Pressed incense, grated nutmeg, pomegranate molasses, raspberry seed and sweet pouch tobacco mingle with dried herbs, crushed rock and brine. The 10X5 clone that plays a bit part in this wine is integral to its expression; it leans into the earthy, savory aspect of the vineyard, while the 667 clone is the pretty, floral, lifted component. Together, they make something quite special—a beautiful, graceful and mineral wine.
94 points - Erin Larkin - The Wine Advocate
The wine shows subtle ruby and violet hues, with lifted aromas of red cherry, plum, raspberry, pomegranate, and mixed spice. A savoury thread and earthy undertones bring further complexity, while the silky texture carries depth, finesse, and persistence. It offers excellent cellaring potential of a decade or more.
