Burn Cottage Moonlight Race Pinot Noir 2023 (750ml)

Bright red cherry, wild strawberry and black plum lead the nose, with hints of thyme, violet and subtle spice in the background. The 2023 Moonlight Race is expressive and finely structured, blending fruit from Burn Cottage’s estate vineyard with select Central Otago sites. There’s lift and clarity on the nose, with savoury complexity beginning to emerge beneath the vibrant fruit.

On the palate, it’s supple and pure, showing layers of red berries, spice and a gentle mineral edge. The tannins are silky, the acidity bright, and the finish long and focused. It’s a wine that captures the energy of the vintage with precision and poise — a Central Otago Pinot that’s both immediately approachable and built to evolve beautifully over the next few years.
