Burn Cottage Vineyard Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019

Description

• Bright cherry
• Floral notes
• Subtle savoury
• Polished tannins

Layers of interest with aromatics of redcurrant, bright cherry and floral notes underpinned by savory hints of tea, earth and fern. The palate is vibrant and focused, supported with seamless balance and finesse. Lovely integration and flow with polished tannins that lend persistence through the palate. Cellaring potential of 8-10 years.

A very good season for growth, with the farm and vineyard experiencing periods of rain regularly. Some drier more classic Central Otago spells experienced in January and February, and healthy plants were vibrant and strong in both vineyard and property throughout the season. We had some frost to navigate in April, but around this a favourable slow extended ripening. Overall the seasons temperatures were moderate, which preserved wonderful balance and acidity.
