Pinot Noir Red Wines
Pinot noir is a delicate red grape variety renowned for producing elegant, lighter-bodied wines, often from cooler climates. While Burgundy in France has long been the global benchmark for this noble grape, offering everything from entry-level "Bourgogne Rouge" to the prestigious grand and premier "cru" wines, it's not the only place where exceptional Pinot Noir is made. Today, the variety flourishes in many parts of the world, including right here in Australia.
Australia is home to some truly outstanding Pinot Noir, recognized globally for its quality. Victoria is at the forefront of Australian Pinot production, particularly in cooler climate areas. The five key regions in Victoria are Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Macedon Ranges, Gippsland, and Geelong all known for producing wines with finesse and complexity. Beyond Victoria, Tasmania and Southern NSW, especially around Tumbarumba, also excel in crafting exquisite cool-climate Pinots, while the Adelaide Hills, with its slightly warmer climate, offers fuller-bodied expressions with riper flavors.
Across the ditch in New Zealand, regions to keep an eye on include Central Otago, the world's southernmost wine region, which is perhaps New Zealand's most famous and produces style a powerful and silken expression of Pinot. For something more approachable Marlborough produces vibrant Pinots with bright red fruit and subtle acidity, while the Wairarapa sub-region of Martinborough typically delivers Pinots with darker fruit profiles, featuring plums and savoury, chocolatey undertones.
Beyond Australia and New Zealand, other regions worth exploring for Pinot Noir include Germany, the USA (especially Oregon), Chile and Argentina
