Burn Cottage

Welcome to the enchanting world of Burn Cottage Vineyard, a stunning 28-hectare estate nestled in the foothills of the Pisa range in Central Otago, New Zealand. This vineyard, which began its journey in 2002, is more than just a property; it’s a sanctuary where the art of winemaking meets the beauty of nature.

Burn Cottage is located in a region coveted for its unique microclimate and soil composition. The estate is perfectly positioned to be sheltered from the winds, creating a protected microenvironment ideal for vine growing. Here, the terrain comprises free-draining, sandy soils, a blend of schist and granite, perfect for cultivating premium grapes.

The founders, Marquis and Dianne Sauvage, purchased this unplanted, goldmining site with a vision to create something extraordinary. They relied on the expertise of Ted Lemon, a renowned winemaker from Littorai in Sebastopol, CA, who helped plant the first vines with a commitment to biodynamic farming practices. Under his guidance, the vineyard has developed into a thriving eco-system, rich in biodiversity and devoted to producing minimal intervention wines.

Burn Cottage operates under the belief that great wines are born from the soils that nurture the vines. The estate’s biodynamic program is a testament to this philosophy, incorporating natural compost, local fruit, and other native elements to enrich the land. Claire Mulholland, joined by assistant viticulturist Shane Livingstone, continues to uphold these practices with great enthusiasm and skill.

Since its inception, Burn Cottage has been renowned for its exceptional Pinot Noir, which thrives in the continental climate of Central Otago—characterized by warm days and cold, clear nights that help maintain the acidity necessary for premium wine production. The vineyard also boasts small productions of Riesling and Grüner-Veltliner, creating a diverse portfolio that speaks to the quality and care put into every bottle.

Famelounge-PS is thrilled to present the Burn Cottage collection, which includes the prestigious Burn Cottage Pinot Noir, alongside select vintages like the Burn Cottage Pinot Noir 2021 and 2020. Each wine showcases the depth and elegance that Burn Cottage is known for, making them a perfect addition to any wine lover’s collection.
