BURN COTTAGE
Burn Cottage is one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed wineries, located in the heart of Central Otago, the country’s premier region for Pinot Noir. Established in 2002 in the Pisa subregion near Cromwell, Burn Cottage has earned international recognition for producing biodynamic wines that express the purity, complexity, and character of Central Otago terroir.
The estate comprises vineyards planted on glacial and alluvial soils, surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island. Central Otago’s continental climate, with warm days, cool nights, and a long growing season, provides ideal conditions for producing wines with concentration, elegance, and vibrant natural acidity.
Burn Cottage is particularly renowned for its Pinot Noir, which has become one of the benchmark expressions of the variety in New Zealand. The wines typically display aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petal, spice, thyme, and earthy mineral notes. On the palate, they combine purity of fruit, fine tannins, freshness, and remarkable balance, offering both immediate appeal and excellent ageing potential.
The winery follows a rigorous biodynamic philosophy inspired by a holistic approach to farming and vineyard management. Minimal intervention in both vineyard and winery allows the unique characteristics of each site and vintage to be expressed naturally. This commitment to sustainability and terroir has established Burn Cottage among the most respected producers in the Southern Hemisphere.
Under the guidance of acclaimed winemaking consultant Ted Lemon of Littorai and a dedicated local team, Burn Cottage continues to produce wines that are highly sought after by collectors, sommeliers, and Pinot Noir enthusiasts around the world.
