The grape

Pinot Noir

Best known in Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand

The great red grape of Burgundy. Cherry, raspberry, earthy and floral notes, with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Notoriously hard to grow well, but capable of extraordinary elegance, and a key grape in Champagne and English sparkling wine.

Where it's from

Santa Barbara

USA

Southern California, but cooled by the Pacific thanks to valleys that run east to west, funnelling fog and breezes inland. Sta. Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley are known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while the warmer Santa Ynez Valley suits Syrah and Bordeaux grapes. Vibrant, balanced wines.
