#44 on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2025
This red wine originates from New Zealand, produced in the premier Pinot Noir region of Central Otago. Burn Cottage Vineyard Property is a 24-hectare estate owned by the Sauvage family, who established the site in 2002. The winery's philosophy is rooted in biodynamic farming and minimal intervention, aiming to let each vineyard's unique character reveal itself through the wine. The Moonlight Race name refers to an 1100-metre-long water channel that passes through the property, originally created by early European immigrants.
Wine Description
The Burn Cottage Moonlight Race Pinot Noir exhibits a luminous ruby hue with excellent clarity. The nose is aromatic and vibrant, offering intense layers of strawberry, wild raspberry, and black cherry, accented by citrus peel, wild herbs, and autumnal earth. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with a supple, layered texture. It is characterized by its integrated tannins, bright acidity, and a seamless progression of flavours including juicy summer berries, black tea spices, and a refined mineral edge. This 100% Pinot Noir is a blend from three estate vineyards—Burn Cottage, Sauvage, and Luna—and is typically bottled unfiltered and unfined. The ABV is 13.5%, and the estate is certified organic and biodynamic.
