Description
Burn Cottage Valli Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016 wine shows lovely aromatic layers with florals, vibrant cherry and cassis, wet earth, spice and dried wild herb notes.
A supple and concentrated palate displays generosity, while fine tannins lend persistence.
Expressive now, we expect the layers, balance and complexity of this wine to reward for many years.
After a cool winter, there were also instances of frost fighting in the early parts of the season with some cold nights.
Flowering was relatively quick, and it was windy at times through this period so the resulting bunches were quite open.
Mild, favourable conditions prevailed through to late January, after which temperatures rose and a warm and dry February ensued.
Apart from some scattered instances of rain, the remaining season continued warm and dry, and the ripening progressed well to picking in early April.
