Pinot Noir

Pee-noe Nwahr

A temperamental thin skinned grape and difficult to grow, when produced of any quality it demands high prices. The thin skin means it's very light in colour body and tannin, it characteristically has searing acidity and full lingering flavours of raspberry, strawberry, cherry, violets and sweet spice.

Flavours:

Cherry
Mushroom
Raspberry
Vanilla
Violet
