Cold soak — Pinot Country Chilling the crushed fruit and holding it below fermentation temperature for days before the yeast start. Water pulls colour and aroma out of the skins; alcohol has not arrived yet to pull tannin. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/cold-soak/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Calera selection — Pinot Country Cuttings Josh Jensen is said to have brought back from Burgundy in the mid-1970s, planted on Mount Harlan and passed around California since. Growers who plant it say so on the label. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/clone/calera-selection/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Mushrooms — Pinot Country The flavour bridge: older pinot noir picks up a forest-floor smell, and a plate of fungi meets it head on. Glutamates in the mushroom read as savoury, which is the same register a mature bottle moves into. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/pairing/mushrooms/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 27K
Rippon — Pinot Country Vines on a lake terrace at Wanaka, biodynamic, with the Southern Alps behind them — the photograph that sells Central Otago, and a family that has farmed the slope since the nineteenth century. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/producer/rippon/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 28K
Négociant — Pinot Country A merchant who buys grapes, juice or finished wine, raises it in their own cellar and sells it under their own name. Half of Burgundy's output moves this way. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/negociant/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
La Tâche — Pinot Country Five hectares in Vosne-Romanée, one owner, about 12,700 bottles. The appellation rules set 35 hl/ha, 9,000 vines to the hectare and 11.5% potential alcohol before anyone picks. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/vineyard/la-tache/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 33K
Brix — Pinot Country Sugar in the juice, as a percentage by weight. Pickers read it off a refractometer in the row, and it is the number most arguments about picking dates are conducted in — usually alongside acid and pH, which matter as… nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/brix/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Hemel-en-Aarde — Pinot Country A valley behind Hermanus, running inland from Walker Bay, with clay over decomposed shale and cold air off the Atlantic. South Africa's pinot address. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/hemel-en-aarde/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 29K
Gamay — Pinot Country Pinot's other well-known child, banished from the Côte d'Or by ducal edict and sent south to granite, where it built Beaujolais. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/variety/gamay/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 28K
Hanzell Vineyards — Pinot Country James Zellerbach planted two acres of pinot noir and four of chardonnay above Sonoma in 1953, then built a cellar copying Burgundy's methods — French oak, temperature control, inert gas. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/producer/hanzell/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 33K
