About Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is a grape that elicits passionate devotion from wine lovers and is one of the most highly prized wines in the world. 

The primary taste profile is about red fruit, with various berries and cherries dominating the palate. Layers of earth-driven herbaceous flavours along with mushrooms, and leather are commonly noted.

To maximize the shelf life of an unopened bottle, store it in a cool, dark area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Try your best to keep the temperature steady.

Kono Pinot Noir is made to consume as a youthful wine - from two to five years from vintage.

Serve our Kono Pinot Noir at room temperature in a classic large red wine glass to allow the wide surface area of he wine to impart all it’s delicious aromas.

In warm summer weather our Kono Pinot Noir may be lightly chilled to make for a deliciously refreshing treat.
