The vineyards of Burn Cottage are nestled in an environment that is perfectly attuned to the cultivation of Pinot Noir grapes.

Burn Cottage Pinot Noir displays red and dark fruit, hints of spice, earth and floral notes in a refined palate marked by smooth tannins. This wine has considerable cellaring capacity.
