Black raspberry, red cherry and earthy nuance with medium oak. Chilean Pinot Noir is elegant and food-friendly — lighter and more delicate than the big Reserve reds, with real varietal character. Pairs beautifully with salmon, duck, or mushroom dishes.
What Equipment Do You Need?
A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and 28–30 bottles. New to winemaking? Our wine starter kits bundle all essentials. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan for best results.
Upgrading your yeast: for a lighter, elegant style like this, try Mangrove Jack's CR51, bred for fruit-forward reds meant for early drinking — a good match for Pinot Noir's delicate character.
Fermentation Timeline
Week 1–3: Primary fermentation at 20–22°C for reds.
Week 4–5: Add finings and allow to clear.
Week 6: Bottle and age for 2–3 months before drinking.
Tips for Best Results
- Keep temperature stable at 20–22°C — consistency matters more with Reserve's extra concentrate
- Pinot Noir is delicate — handle gently when racking to avoid over-oxygenation
- Allow wines to clear completely before bottling
- Age for minimum 2–3 months for the fruit and earthy notes to settle in
