Pinot Noir is a red wine grape variety originating from Burgundy, France, known for producing wines that are lighter in body with relatively low tannins. It tends to offer elegant flavours of red fruits like cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, often with earthy, floral, or spicy undertones. It's considered one of the most challenging grapes to grow but also one of the most rewarding, thriving in cooler climates like Burgundy, Oregon, and New Zealand.
