Pinot Noir Wine Guide

What is Pinot Noir?

Pinot Noir is one of the oldest and most celebrated grape varieties in the world. Known as the "heartbreak grape" due to its difficulty to cultivate, it rewards patient winemakers with wines of extraordinary finesse and complexity. The thin-skinned grape produces lighter-colored wines with moderate tannins, but what it lacks in power it makes up for in aromatic complexity and silky texture. Great Pinot Noir displays an almost ethereal quality that has captivated wine lovers for centuries.
