This variety is native to the French region of Bourgogne and it is a delicate
variety that is difficult to cultivate.
This grape has potential to produce elegant wines with a medium to low level of
tannin, a velvety texture and a high acidity level. With their high potential
for quality, these wines reflect “terroir” very well.
They are very suitable for oak barrels. The wines have notes of earth and meat
after they have been matured in oak.
Good examples in world wine making are produced in France - (Bourgogne (Côte de
Nuits, Côte de Baune)), Australia, New Zealand, USA (California and Oregon).
Pinot Noir grapes are grown in Kavaklıdere’s vineyards on the Denizli-Güney
Plateau.
