Saint Georges Pinot Noir, Birichino, Central Coast, California
£36.95
Based in Santa Cruz, Birichino was founded in 2008 by friends Alex Krause and John Locke. Alex and John met whilst working at Randall Grahm’s Bonny Doon Vineyard and share a passion for perfumed, elegant but slightly mischievous wines; in fact, Birichino is Italian for ‘mischievous’!
The Birichino style is very much in the vein of ‘New Wave California’. The focus is on drinkability, fruit expression, elegance and lower alcohol levels. Oak is rarely seen, whole bunch is embraced, native yeasts are in and filtration is out.
This old vine Pinot is beautifully balanced, with just the right savoury notes to mingle with the detailed red fruit flavours. Very delicious and represents great value for top Californian Pinot Noir.
Perfect with Baron Bigod!
