/ PEE-noh NWAHR / · Also known as Pinot Nero, Spätburgunder, Blauburgunder
The heartbreak grape — fragile in the vineyard, unforgettable in the glass.
Thin-skinned and notoriously hard to grow, Pinot Noir rewards patience with some of the most perfumed, elegant red wines in the world. Expect a pale ruby colour, bright acidity and silky, gentle tannins that make it one of the most food-friendly reds on any list.
