Burn Cottage Riesling Grüner Veltliner 2022 is a white wine blend from Central Otago, New Zealand. This vintage features a significant proportion of Riesling alongside Grüner Veltliner, co-fermented to create complex layers. The wine displays a distinct profile with notes of citrus peel, green apple and subtle spice characteristics. Its structure is supported by a crisp acidity and a pronounced minerality indicative of the region`s unique terroir. Burn Cottage Vineyard is committed to biodynamic practices, reflecting a deep respect for the land and its ecology.

The 2022 Riesling-Gruner Veltliner comprises a co-fermented blend of 65% Riesling and 35% Gruner, and it`s a blend of two clones per variety. The fruit is grown on the Burn Cottage site in Lowburn and was co-fermented and matured in a variety of vessels. stainless steel barrels, neutral oak barriques and sandstone jars. Aromatically, the wine leads with white flowers and berries. In the mouth, the fruit is waxy and chalky; the texture is derived from the time on the skins—only 16 hours in this vintage , but it was enough to make an impact. Having only been bottled a week or two before I tasted it in March 2025, the wine will no doubt settle further in time, but for now, it`s a very attractive, startling precise, textural wine. It has 4.4 grams per liter of residual sugar, coupled with a low pH of 3.06 and total acidity of 7.4 grams per liter. The numbers are interesting to me; the fruit is picked at low Brix, and this translates to low pH and high total acidity, yet the alcohol is higher than I expect, especially given there is still some residual sugar left in the wine. The wild ferment means it stops on its own, and "if it doesn`t want to go any further, we don`t push it," says Winemaker Claire Mulholland. "It`s something to do with the site, and we are still trying to work that out." 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Erin Larkin
