What is Pinot Noir?

Pinot Noir is a red grape variety that originates from France's Burgundy region but has since spread to some of the most famous wine-producing regions worldwide, including South Africa. Known for its versatility and delicacy, Pinot Noir wines typically offer aromas of red fruits like cherry, strawberry, and raspberry, combined with earthy and floral undertones. Unlike heavier red wines, Pinot Noir tends to be lighter in body, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy refined and nuanced flavours.

Our Pinot Noir wines are carefully selected to showcase the diversity of this wonderful grape, with bottles ranging from fruity and approachable to complex and age-worthy. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a bottle on its own or pair it with a meal, Pinot Noir is the perfect choice for any occasion.
