Our Niagara Pinot Noir is a classic with a bright red colour and fresh aromas of red fruit, earth and a hint of smoke.
Lighter bodied, this silky Pinot Noir has food friendly acidity making it a great sipping wine to enjoy with charcuterie and cheese plates, tomato based dishes such as gourmet pizza, Caprese salad and gazpacho. Try this Ontario Pinot Noir slightly chilled for a great light red wine to kick off any meal.
WINE MAKING
Harvested from the vineyards of long-standing growers for Peller Estates. Fermentation was completed in small batches with 10 to 15 days of skin contact; the wines were barrel aged for 10 months in neutral (older) French oak barrels. The individual wines underwent a full malolactic fermentation to soften the mouthfeel. Six different barrel lots were selected and blended to create a wine of greater complexity.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
Bright ruby red colour with a lovely bouquet of red cherry and red currant fruit, mingling with spice, earth, and smoky oak. A light to medium-bodied, elegant and fruit forward Pinot Noir. The mouthfeel provides silky drying tannins and food-friendly acidity, along with flavours of red cherry, red berry, and a touch of spice, earth, and oak. Red fruits and a touch of earth and spice linger on the dry finish.
