Pinot Noir (黑皮諾) 是世界七大葡萄品種之一，能釀製出全球最受歡迎的輕盈酒體紅酒，最為著名的產區當然是來自法國布根地 - 金丘(Côte-d'Or)。酸度高和低單寧是黑皮諾的特色，優異的酸度、果香、花香，能釀製出精緻優雅、氣質非凡且讓你畢生難忙的佳餚。
黑皮諾易感染疾病，對生長環境要求比較高，屬於早熟型葡萄，適合在較寒冷的氣候生長。除了釀製成紅酒，也是香檳產區法定葡萄品種之一，可混合其他法定品種釀製出高雅、細膩的氣泡酒。黑皮諾雖然顏色不深，卻有嚴謹和豐厚的骨幹，極度適合陳年。
酒體呈淺寶石紅色，酒體散花著淡淡果香和花香，充斥著櫻桃、覆盆莓、丁香、玫瑰花、蘑菇和香草等香氣，入口單寧絲滑柔順，芬香撲鼻！除了法國布根地產區，紐西蘭、美國、澳洲較為冷涼氣候的產區亦能出產品質超卓的黑皮諾，有興趣的話不坊邀約朋友們來個不同產區的黑皮諾品飲派對，體驗一下不同產區的風土如何影響黑皮諾的酒體風格！
Pinot Noir is one of the seven major grape varieties, which can produce the most popular light-bodied red wine in the world. Home of the most prestigious Pinot Noir is French Burgundy - Côte-d' Or. High acidity, low tannins, extraordinary fruity & floral aromas with long and smooth finish make it distinct from other grape varieties.
Pinot Noir is susceptible to diseases and has high requirements on growing environments. It is an early-ripening grape and is suitable for cooler climates. It is also one of the legal grape varieties in the Champagne region that can be mixed with other legal varieties to produce elegant and delicate sparkling wine. Although Pinot Noir is not dark in colour, it has a rigorous and rich structure, which is extremely suitable for ageing.
The wine is in ruby colour , light fruity and floral aromas, full of cherry, raspberry, clove, rose, mushroom and vanilla aromas with smooth, long and delicate tannin! Apart from the French Burgundy region, cooler climate regions like New Zealand, the United States, and Australia can also produce excellent quality of Pinot Noir. If you are interested, try to host a Pinot Noir tasting party and experience the differences of growing environment that affects the style of Pinot Noir!
