Pinot Noir Wine

Elegance in a glass

Pinot Noir wine is typically dry, light- to medium-bodied, with a bright acidity that adds a refreshing zest to each sip. The silky tannins provide a smooth texture, making Pinot Noir exceptionally easy to drink and enjoy.

Flavour profile

Pinot Noir offers a delightful array of flavours that can vary based on the terroir and the winemaker's style. The best Pinot Noirs in Australia present a harmonious blend of:

• Red fruits— Cherry, raspberry and strawberry are prominent, providing a fresh and vibrant fruitiness.
• Earthy notes— Mushroom and forest floor add depth and complexity, especially in aged wines.
• Spice and oak— Vanilla and baking spices such as clove and cinnamon emerge when the wine is aged in French oak barrels, adding layers of flavour.

Influence of climate

The climate in which Pinot Noir is grown plays a crucial role in shaping its characteristics:

• Cooler climates— Regions like Burgundy in France and Germany produce Pinot Noir wines that are more delicate and light-bodied, with higher acidity and lower alcohol levels (typically 12-13.5% ABV).
• Warmer climates— Areas such as California and Australia yield riper, fuller-bodied Pinot Noirs with higher alcohol content (ranging from 13.5-15% ABV). These wines boast ripe, fruity notes and a more pronounced oak influence.

Food pairings with Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir's versatility and complex taste make it a fantastic wine to pair with a variety of dishes.

• Roast turkey

Pinot Noir’s tangy berry notes can elevate your meal in the same way a hint of cranberry sauce does. The delicate flavours of turkey beautifully complement the fruity and earthy notes of Pinot Noir, creating a harmonious and delectable pairing.

• Barbecue pork ribs 

Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with pork, as the wine’s bright acidity balances the richness of the meat. A New World Pinot Noir from Australia can be perfect with juicy, slightly smoky barbecue pork ribs. 

• Salmon 

Wild salmon pairs beautifully with medium-bodied Pinot Noir wines from warmer climates, such as those from California and Australia. Pinot Noir’s higher acidity compared to most other red wines complements the fish and cuts through its richness. 

• Cheese

Salty cheeses are a great match for Pinot Noir's remarkable acidity, fruity notes and earthiness. For a more delicate pairing, try a light Pinot Noir with baked Brie or Camembert. For bolder flavours, opt for a robust Pinot Noir with Manchego or goat Gouda. Enhance your Pinot Noir cheese board with dried strawberries, tart cherries and cranberries.
