This is a classic Chilean Pinot Noir, with a lovely earthy tone from top to bottom, layered with red and black cherry fruit. We also loved the subtle coffee, mocha character that presents itself after a bit of time in the glass. Bold, chunky and ripe, for Pinot Noir.

Key Facts: As a wine drinker, Pinot Noir is one smooth-talking charmer; silken texture, soft tannins, juicy acidity and as light in colour as it is on its feet. It does have a reputation however as a challenging grape to grow - it's very picky about where it is planted and can be tricky to get right. But the toil of growing it is always worth it in the end! Nothing quite compares to the splendour of Pinot Noir — packed with flavours of strawberry, warm baking spices and elegant earthiness. Think of Pinot Noir as the diva of the wine world - like Mariah Carey - if you don't keep it happy, it's a nightmare, but if you get it right, it is amazing! More is never enough. Fun Fact: The name "Pinot" first appeared in print in 1375.
