Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the top three most planted red grapes on the planet. While its most coveted bottlings are from Burgundy and Champagne, high quality Pinot Noir can be found all over the world. Regions to keep an out for are the Willamette Valley in Oregon, Central Otago in New Zealand, and the Russian River Valley in California. Pinot Noir is a red grape variety revered for its elegance, complexity, and ability to express terroir. It often produces wines with delicate aromas of red berries, floral notes, and earthy undertones, with a silky texture and refined tannins that contribute to its legendary status among wine lovers. Pinot Noir's versatility and light to medium body make it an ideal wine to pair with a wide range of dishes. Its bright acidity and red fruit flavors complement poultry dishes such as roast chicken or duck, while its earthy undertones harmonize beautifully with mushroom-based dishes like risotto or mushroom stroganoff. Additionally, Pinot Noir's silky texture and delicate tannins make it a perfect match for salmon and other fatty fish, enhancing their flavors without overpowering them.
