Pinot noir
The pinot noir produces fruity aromatic wines
The pinot noir is a grape from which some of the greatest wines of the world are made. The pinot noir produces fruity aromatic wines that in some cases have the ability to mature.
The pinot noir grape
The red wine from Australia is for the most part made from the Shiraz grape. This grape is also the most planted in Australia. Particularly in the Barossa Valley and the McLaren Vale, particularly red wines are made here. Although the wines can of course differ per wine region, they are usually made from fruity wines with a lot of alcohol. In addition, the wines are often raised in oak barrels. Cabernet Sauvignon comes in close second. In the wine regions Coonawarra and Margaret River, high quality wines are made from this. Furthermore, you also encounter Merlot more and more often in Australia. this is regularly added to a blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, but more and more often wines are made in which the Merlot is central.
A whimsical but versatile grape
The Pinot noir is a whimsical grape and requires a lot of care. Pinot noir is sensitive to the size of the harvest, so a substantial reduction is required for the harvest. In the younger wines we taste raspberries, strawberries, cherries, violets and cabbage. In the older wines we find more earthy tones and a bouquet that is reminiscent of game and sometimes even licorice. The rather small grapes grow close to the stem. bunch. In addition to Burgundy, we also find the Pinot Noir in Alsace and the Jura in assemblages. We also come across him in rosé Sancerre.
