Pinot Noir

Red wine

Baden

Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously finicky red grape that produces light, elegant wines with bright red fruit flavors and silky, low tannins. It's highly sensitive to where it's grown, picking up subtle differences in soil and climate more than almost any other grape. Young Pinot Noir tastes of cherry and raspberry, while aged examples develop earthy, mushroom-like complexity.

Also known as Blauburgunder, Pinot Nero, Rulandské Modré, Spätburgunder.
