Burn Cottage is a 28 hectare vineyard, farm, and estate in the foothills of the Pisa range in Central Otago, New Zealand. The vineyard is owned by husband and wife Marquis & Dianne Sauvage, who purchased the unplanted property in 2002. It had been grazed by sheep for as long as can currently be remembered. There were, and are, no immediate vineyard neighbors. The site was much coveted in the region, for it is sheltered from both northerly and southerly winds by large hills and forms a beautiful, protected bowl much like a modern amphitheater. It is a phenomenal site for Pinot Noir. Since it's inception these vineyards have been farmed biodynamically with the wines being made by California Pinot legend and owner/winemaker at California's Littoria, Ted Lemon. Ted brings both his expertise and talents to the table and the wines speak for themselves. This is superb and as impressive a bottle of Pinot Noir you'll find anywhere.
