Saurus Barrel Fermented Pinot Noir – fruity, barrel-fermented red wine
Saurus Barrel Fermented Pinot Noir is an elegant red wine with light ruby tones that highlights the delicate, fruit-driven character of the Pinot Noir grape. Its colour is translucent yet vivid, already suggesting a lighter, fresh and fruit-focused style at first glance.
Aroma and flavour
On the nose, fresh raspberry and ripe strawberry dominate, accompanied on the palate by a touch of gentle spice. Thanks to barrel aging, discreet vanilla and cocoa notes appear, beautifully complementing the red berry fruit. The wine offers sweet, velvety tannins and well-balanced acidity, making it both rounded and lively.
Being bottled unfiltered helps preserve the wine’s natural character and texture, while providing a deeper, more layered tasting experience. The palate is medium-bodied and easy to drink, with a finish where red fruits and subtle woody aromas linger.
Style and serving suggestion
This Pinot Noir is an ideal choice for those who enjoy fruity, elegant red wines but also appreciate the added complexity of barrel aging. Serve slightly chilled, at around 57–61 °F (14–16 °C), to show the best balance between the vibrant fruit notes and the oak-derived aromas.
Food pairing
Saurus Barrel Fermented Pinot Noir pairs well with lighter red meats, poultry, mushroom dishes and semi-aged cheeses. Its fruity character also makes it a great companion to mildly spicy yet not overly heavy meals. Whether for a relaxed dinner with friends, a weekend lunch or a quiet evening conversation, it offers a balanced, refined choice.
