Product description
Bread&Butter Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes grown in cooler, ocean-influenced vineyards in California, where morning fog and humid air from the Pacific help to moderate summer heat. This climate allows the wine to retain bright, lively acidity while the fruit reaches full ripeness. The aim at Bread & Butter is to create wines that are easy to enjoy yet refined, turning everyday moments into something a little more special.
Aroma and taste
On the nose, this wine shows an intense, fruit-forward character with cassis, ripe raspberry and dark cherry at the forefront, complemented by subtle toasted oak and smoky nuances. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture and refreshing acidity that balances the rich dark fruit flavours. The long finish reveals notes of bay leaf, cedar and understated spice, leaving an elegant, clean impression.
Winemaking and ageing
The Pinot Noir grapes are carefully selected from premium Californian vineyards. The proximity to the ocean and the moderate climate create ideal conditions for this delicate variety, resulting in a wine that is both aromatic and fresh. The young wine is aged in French and American oak barrels, adding finesse, a rounder structure and discreet toasty notes without overpowering the fruit-driven profile.
Serving suggestions and food pairing
Bread&Butter Pinot Noir has a smooth, approachable style that pairs well with a wide range of dishes. It works beautifully with grilled red and white meats, roast lamb, charcuterie boards, smoked or cured meats and flavourful cheeses. It is also a harmonious match for salmon and other richer seafood, as its fresh acidity cuts through the richness of the dishes.
For optimal enjoyment, serve slightly chilled at around 57–61 °F (14–16 °C) to showcase the wine’s full spectrum of fruit and spice aromas. This Pinot Noir is a versatile red that brings a clean, modern Californian touch to weeknight dinners and relaxed gatherings with friends.
