What is Pinot Noir?

Just like the Pinot Grigio, the Pinot Noir comes from the red wine grape variety of the Vitis vinifera grape species. Pinot noir is used to make some of the best red wines around the world, as well as champagne and sparkling white wines. Pinot Noir is difficult to cultivate and transform into wine. This is due to the grape's tendency to grow in packed clusters. They also have uneven and unpredictable aging and thin skin.

Tasting Notes of Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is a dry wine with a light to medium body. It also has bright acidity, silky tannins and alcohol that ranges between 12-15%. Usually, the best pinot noirs have complex flavours that include cherry, raspberry and mushrooms. When aged in French oak it can include a taste of vanilla and baking spice. The taste of Pinot Noir varies based on the climate and producer style.

How to serve and pair pinot

Pinot Noir can either be delicate and fresh, or rich and oak-aged and best served at room temperature. If you don't finish the bottle, replace the cork and put in the refrigerator for 1-3 days. A wine like Pinot Noir is best paired with dishes that can complement the fruit flavours, bright acidity and elegance. Pinot Noir pairs perfectly with red meats like duck and lamb, and white meats like chicken, turkey and pork. You can also fold the wine's savory flavours into dishes like pasta and risotto. Do not pair this wine with dense and richly flavoured foods as they can overpower the delicacy of the wine.
