Established with a clear vision of producing Pinot Noir of the highest possible quality through minimal intervention and deep respect for the land, Burn Cottage has rapidly established itself as one of New Zealand's most important and critically acclaimed wine producers. The estate farms biodynamically — working with the rhythms of the lunar calendar, building soil health through cover crops and compost, and avoiding all synthetic inputs — in the belief that the healthiest soils produce the most expressive and complex wines. \u003cem\u003eSauvage\u003c\/em\u003e — meaning 'wild' in French — is Burn Cottage's most expressive and ambitious single-vineyard Pinot Noir: a wine of extraordinary complexity, opulence, and depth, fermented with wild indigenous yeasts and crafted with the kind of precision and restraint that allows the unique character of this exceptional site to speak without interference.

Concentrated black plum, dark cherry, and ripe mulberry lead, layered with notes of warm baking spice, dried rose petal, dark chocolate, and a subtle, earthy schist minerality that speaks of the vineyard's ancient Central Otago soils. The wild fermentation adds a compelling sauvage complexity — a feral, forest-floor depth that sets this wine apart from more conventionally crafted Pinot Noirs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly concentrated — silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity, and a long, spiced, mineral finish of extraordinary persistence and depth.

Three decades on, that vision has been vindicated many times over. Bannockburn — sheltered by the Carrick Range, blessed with ancient schist soils and extreme diurnal temperature variation — is now firmly established as one of the Southern Hemisphere's great Pinot Noir terroirs, and Mt Difficulty remains its most iconic producer. The 2022 vintage across Central Otago was defined by a warm, dry growing season with excellent sunshine hours and a long, even ripening period — producing wines of greater concentration, depth, and structural weight than the more delicate 2023. Where the 2023 is all elegance and aromatic lift, the 2022 is richer, more brooding, and built for the medium term: a wine with the fruit density and tannin structure to reward patience as much as it rewards immediate enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep ruby with a dense, opaque core and a vibrant crimson rim.
