Well w**e lovers it’s Inteternational Pinot Noir Day and I just could not NOT celebrate this fabulously interesting grape! 🍇 🍷
Pinot Noir is a bit of a diva. 😂
Thin skins, fussy about where it grows, and very sensitive to climate. In cooler places you tend to get lighter body, higher acidity and tart red fruit. Give it more warmth and you start getting riper, sweeter-tasting fruit, more body and sometimes higher alcohol. Then soil, altitude, w**emaking and oak add another layer 🤗
If, like me, you’ve dismissed Pinot noir in the last five it another go - you may just not have tried the right one!
Cheers Pinot noir! ❤️💋
