Burn Cottage, Moonlight Race, Pinot Noir 2020
Price: 45,83€
DESCRIPTION
The 2020 Moonlight Race is crafted from a distinctive blend of Burn Cottage’s three vineyards: Lowburn, Sauvage, and Sappa (Bannockburn). Each vineyard contributes its unique character: lush fruit, elegant minerality, and refined aromatics combining to capture the vibrant essence of Central Otago.
On the nose, layers of black cherry and raspberry mingle with floral hints, subtle herbs, cocoa, and forest floor nuances. The palate is lively yet rich, with soft, textured tannins that carry the fruit forward into a long, savory finish.
Awarded 96 points by Wine Spectator, this New Zealand Pinot Noir is captivating now but can age gracefully for over 7 years. Perfect with a charcuterie and cheese platter, herb-roasted pork, or mushroom-based vegetarian dishes.

Central Otago
New Zealand
Central Otago, in the heart of New Zealand's South Island, competes for the title of southernmost wine region in the world. Between snowy mountains, sparkling rivers and sheltered valleys, its spectacular vineyards cling to the slopes as if suspended in a natural amphitheatre.
Here Pinot Noir reigns supreme, covering nearly three quarters of the vineyard. It shows a sunny, precise style, with intense aromas of dark plum, sweet spice and bramble, and a depth of colour and structure that bring it close to the great terroirs of Burgundy. Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris complete the picture, bringing freshness and elegance to this extraordinary region.
Recommended for you:
A Pinot Noir of great finesse. Aromas of ripe red fruits and soft spices. On the palate, the tannins are silky, and the finish is elegant.
