Pinot Noir

Light-bodied and easy to enjoy, our versatile Pinot Noir shines lightly chilled—perfect with anything from appetizers to mains, and even with dessert.

• Tuna or Salmon: The lighter body and bright acidity of our Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with richer, fattier fish by enhancing their flavors without overpowering them.
• Dark chocolate: The fruity red-berry notes of our wine provide a vibrant contrast to the bitterness of dark chocolate, creating a truly delightful pairing.
• Mushrooms: The earthy flavors in our Pinot Noir harmonize with the savory taste of mushrooms and enhance their shared complexity.
• Pizza and Pasta: The light body and vibrant acidity of our Pinot Noir make it an excellent match for tomato-based pastas and pizzas, complementing the acidity of the tomatoes without overwhelming the dish.
• Indian Food: The fresh fruity character of our Pinot Noir provides a refreshing counterpoint to the heat of spicy curries, helping to balance and lift the bold flavors.
