Chardonnay explained: oaked, unoaked, Chablis and sparklingPinot Noir explained: regions, styles, serving and foodBright, pure and shamelessly slurpable. The 2015 Feral Fox is an aromatic and expressive Pinot, brimming with red fruits and a raft of savoury characters. The fruity and savoury highlights mingle to deliver an ever evolving bouquet. The palate is particularly lively with rhubarb and raspberry flavours combined with an almost pomegranate like crunch. Searching a little deeper reveals mushroom, forest floor and cedary notes that make Pinot such an alluring prospect. Chalky tannins and punchy acid ensure the finish is refreshing, not fatiguing. A versatile wine that can be enjoyed in any number of situations, young and slightly chilled, as an aperitif on a summers afternoon, or paired to a rich, gamey meal of duck and winter veg, perhaps with a touch of age.

Common questions
What food goes with Pinot Noir?
Roast chicken, duck, salmon, mushrooms and soft cheeses are classic matches. It is lighter than most reds, so it suits dishes that a heavy red would overwhelm.
Is Pinot Noir light or full bodied?
Usually light to medium bodied, with soft tannins. Wines from warmer regions such as California or Central Otago can be riper and fuller than Burgundy.
