Tasting Notes

Baked strawberries, pomelo zest and potpourri with underlying sweet spices of red liquorice and ground cloves. Medium-bodied, finely-grained silky tannins with refreshing acidity. A hint of tomato leaf notes at the end. Zesty and flavoursome.

The 2021 Burn Cottage Vineyard Pinot Noir is alive and energetic, svelte and composed. As I write this, I am sitting at the bottom of the Burn Cottage Vineyard in Lowburn, looking up the rows. This is a mineral, nuanced expression, with graphite and white tea, pomegranate pearls, raspberry licorice, rosehips and crushed pink peppercorns. This is what I came here for. It’s thrilling, lacy, delicate and focused. Exciting wine, exciting drinking. It sits on the palate nicely—evenly weighted, and it spools through the long finish... yes!

Pretty, crushed strawberry and icing sugar. Complex, relaxed nose. Perfumed and layered. Some riper plummy notes, savoury undertow. A lick of toasty oak, Mid-weight with a bit of grainy tannin. Finishes more brooding. Long, sustained, digestible. Elegant and flowing.
