Delicate in colour and light in body, pinot noir is popular across the world for its versatility and great ability to pair with a whole range of foods – lighter versions of this red wine make an excellent accompaniment to seafood or creamy pasta dishes, while more tannin-rich styles pair well with pork, duck or game. Pinot noir grapes are also frequently used in sparkling wines – they’re a key ingredient in Champagne, alongside chardonnay and pinot meunier.
Pinot noir is a notoriously tricky grape to grow, but the results are worth it. The Vineking collection is made up of some of the best pinot noirs from around the world – both red wines and sparkling varieties.
