About Pinot noir in brief
Pinot noir is a red wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. The grape cluster is small and conico-cylindrical; shaped like a pine cone. The thin skins and low levels of phenolic compounds lends pinot to producing mostly lightly colored, medium-bodied and low-tannin wines. It is also used to make Champagne, and such sparkling white wines as the Italian Franciacorta, and English sparkling wines. The United States has increasingly become a major PinotNoir producer, with some of the best regarded coming from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, and California’s Sonoma Coast appellations. The leaves of Pinot Noir are generally smaller than those of Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah, and the vine is typically less vigorous than either of these varieties. When young, wines made from Pinotnoir tend to have red fruit aromas of cherries, raspberries and strawberries. As the wine ages, pinot has the potential to develop more vegetal and \”barnyard\” aromas that can contribute to the complexity of the wine. However, Joel Fleischman of Vanity Fair describes them as “the most romantic of wines, with so voluptuous a perfume, an sweet edge and an edge that make the blood run hot and make the soul run hot” The grape’s tendency to produce tightly packed clusters makes it susceptible to several viticultural hazards involving rot that require diligent canopy management. The vines themselves are susceptible to powdery mildew, especially in Burgundy infection by leaf roll, and fanleaf viruses causes significant vine health problems.
In New Zealand, it is principally grown in Martinborough, Marlborough, Waipara and Central Otago. It’s also planted in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, northern parts of Croatia, Czech Republic, the Republic of Georgia, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Kosovo, Republic of Macedonia, Moldova, New Zealand,. Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland, Ukraine, United States and Uruguay. It has a reputation for being difficult to grow: Jancis Robinson calls pinot noirs a “minx of a vine” and André Tchelistchelistchen declared that cabernet sauvignon is “God made Pinot noIR” It is much less tolerant of harsh vineyard conditions than cabernets, syrah, merlot or grenache, among the most popular among the world’s wine tasters. It can sometimes produce broad impressions, flavors, textures and textures that can sometimes confuse tasters that sometimes can sometimes run the blood hot and run the soul hot and the soul running hot. The name is derived from the French words for pine and black. Some viticultural historians believe this shape similarity may have given rise to the name. The grape is primarily associated with the Burgundy region of France, particularly in Côte-d’Or.
