In 2018, Burn Cottage purchased the ‘Sauvage Vineyard’, 5.8 hectares of Pinot Noir located in Bannockburn on the north-east side of Felton Road. It was planted in 1999, with five clones on a variety of rootstocks. The soils at the Sauvage site are Bannockburn series, which are classified as “deep silt loams” containing quartz sands, along with quartz and schist gravels. This single vineyard is in transition to biodynamic farming.

Burn Cottage refers to the name of the road on which this 28 hectare property sits in Lowburn, Central Otago. The estate was once a sheep paddock until it was purchased by Marquis Sauvage in 2002. Marquis enlisted Ted Lemon of Sonoma Coast’s famous Littorai as their winemaker and together they decided to plant Pinot Noir in 2003. Six years later, they released their first wine.
