A blend of grapes from Bannockburn and Lowburn. Appealing and accessible pinot noir with ripe cherry, plum, violet and star anise. A smooth-textured wine with subtle power. Delicious now but no rush 09 Nov 2021 Drink 2021–2027

'Ted Lemon and Claire Mulholland of Burn Cottage have both been friends of mine for almost as long as I can remember. 
 
Ted, I first meet in Burgundy in 1984. As far as I know he was the first foreign winemaker in a very traditional part of the French wine industry. He was an inspiration in realizing there are no boundaries: anything is possible in the world of wine. Since then we have worked closely together both at Chateau Walmer in Napa Valley and Archery Summit Winery in Oregon. 
 
Claire and I worked side by side in the early days at Gibbston Valley Wines. We shared the joy of being the first winemakers to see fruit from many different Central Otago sites, made the first wines for a number of today's iconic Central Otago brands and were on one of the steepest learning curves in winemaking history.
 
When a discussion with Ted and Claire turned to the possibility of exchanging fruit as a way of gaining further understanding of our own sites, and of course having the pleasure of working with each other again, there was only one answer: YES!"
