Pinot Noir’s low tannin, bright red fruit flavours and naturally high acidity gives it the ability to cut through proteins like salmon, pork, duck, or mushrooms but it also perfectly complements earthy root vegetables and acidic fruits such carrots, tomatoes, cherries or pomegranate it is also a fantastic pairing with light meat dishes, seafood and vegetarian dishes and has the ability to go so well with a variety of cheeses too.
