The region’s continental climate—warm days, cool nights, and low rainfall—combined with the 2023 vintage conditions, delivered fruit with vivid aromatics, excellent natural acidity, and finely resolved tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"911\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003eWinemaking follows a gentle, minimal-intervention philosophy. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with a proportion of whole bunches to enhance aromatic lift, structure, and savoury detail. Extraction is carefully managed to preserve delicacy and precision, and maturation takes place in seasoned French oak barrels, ensuring oak supports rather than dominates the fruit expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1703\"\u003eThe wine opens with bright aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, and rose petal, layered with subtle notes of dried herbs, spice, and mineral earth. The palate is medium-bodied and vibrant, showing pure red fruit, fresh acidity, and supple, fine-grained tannins. A savoury, gently textured finish reflects both Bannockburn’s stony soils and Burn Cottage’s commitment to balance and restraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1705\" data-end=\"1911\"\u003eDesigned to offer early drinking pleasure while retaining structure, the 2023 Moonlight Race Pinot Noir is delicious now with light decanting and will continue to evolve gracefully over the next 5–10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1913\" data-end=\"2026\"\u003eAn elegant, contemporary Central Otago Pinot Noir that delivers clarity, drinkability, and a true sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52783148040555,"sku":"SK63060684","price":69.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5483\/8635\/files\/Burn_Cottage_Moonlight_Race_Pinot_Noir_750ml_41fa6929-6f1d-4ac7-acba-a61fd617f96a.png?v=1780389604"},{"product_id":"2022-burn-cottage-sauvage-vineyard-pinot-noir-750ml","title":"2022 Burn Cottage Sauvage Vineyard Pinot Noir 750ml","description":"\u003ch4\u003eAwards, Ratings \u0026amp; Reviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — Robert Parker Wine Advocate · 2022 Vintage\u003cbr\u003eTasted: Feb 2025\u003cbr\u003eWhen to drink: 2024 to 2037\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring vineyard development the greatest care was taken to separate blocks according to soil, aspect and exposure differences.
