MORE INFORMATION:
A lively and energetic Pinot Noir with a complex nose characterized by strawberries, herbal elements and forest floor. Well balanced, fresh acidity and light tannins with a long clean finish. An aromatic, elegant and food-friendly wine.

Pinot Noir is a wonderfully versatile wine, known for its bright acidity and smooth, silky texture. • Poultry: Roast duck, grilled chicken, and turkey bring out its fruity and earthy notes. • Salmon & Tuna: The wine’s balanced acidity complements fatty fish beautifully. • Mushrooms & Truffles: Earthy flavours in dishes like mushroom risotto or truffle pasta pair exceptionally well. • Pork: Pork tenderloin, grilled pork chops, or charcuterie boards match Pinot Noir’s light body. • Soft Cheeses: Brie, Camembert, and Gruyère enhance its smooth, delicate character. • Herby & Umami Dishes: Meals with thyme, rosemary, soy sauce, or miso highlight its depth.
