Burn Cottage Vineyard Moonlight Race Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019
Lovely vibrant core with silky texture
Lovely vibrant core with silky texture
Description
- Red cherry
- Black tea
- Spice
- Silky texture
Bright florals, red cherry and plum tones are followed with savoury black tea, spice and earth notes. There is a lovely vibrant core to this wine, completed by silky texture and elegant structure persisting in the palate. Cellaring potential to 7 years.
From vintage 2018 onwards Moonlight Race becomes solely about their two unique estate vineyards: Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn (46%), and Sauvage Vineyard in Bannockburn (54%). The combination of these two sites produces a vibrant expression of classic Central Otago Pinot Noir.
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. They 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.
