Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red, intense in colour for a Pinot Noir. The nose opens with raspberry and strawberry, and a floral touch of violet sits above the fruit, with a little oak spice behind it. On the palate the texture is silky and delicate, with juicy red fruit and a hint of smoke through the middle. The tannins are soft and the acidity is vibrant, which keeps the wine lively. The finish is soft, with red fruit and a trace of violet lingering.
Food Pairing
Light body, silky texture and vibrant acidity suit poultry and lighter meat. Roast chicken, turkey and grilled salmon are the strongest matches. A mushroom risotto or a board of cured meats also works, and roasted game suits the smoky note in the middle of the palate. Serve it lightly chilled at about 12°C, which is roughly 30 minutes in the fridge from room temperature. For a Nairobi braai where chicken is the main meat, or a Sunday roast, this is a red that does not overpower the plate.

Description
A silky Pinot Noir from Gualtallary, the highest and coldest part of Argentina’s Uco Valley. Order online in Nairobi through The Wine Box.
Pinot Noir is hard to grow well. It has thin skins, ripens early and loses its perfume quickly in heat. Rutini plants this one in Gualtallary, the highest and coldest part of the Uco Valley, where gravel and sand soils slow ripening and keep the acidity high. The site sits at around 1,500 metres.
The fruit is picked by hand and fermented in stainless steel tanks, which preserves the fruit. A full malolactic fermentation follows, then the wine is aged in second use French oak, so the oak’s influence stays light. The result is a light, silky wine with vibrant acidity.
For a Nairobi buyer who wants a Pinot Noir that tastes of fruit and flowers and does not weigh the table down, this is a good starting point. Best suited to white wine drinkers moving into reds, and to anyone who wants a light red to serve slightly chilled.
