Neutral oak — Pinot Country A barrel that has already given up its flavour — third use, fourth, older. It still lets oxygen through the staves and still shapes texture; it just stops tasting of the forest. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/neutral-oak/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 27K
Vigneron — Pinot Country A grower who makes the wine. Not a winemaker who buys fruit and not a farmer who sells it — the word insists on both halves of the job. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/vigneron/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Burt Williams — Pinot Country Made Williams Selyem's wine in a Forestville garage, put growers' vineyard names on the front label when nobody else bothered, then sold up and planted his own vines in Anderson Valley. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/person/burt-williams/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 25K
Champagne — Pinot Country Chalk country 150 km north-east of Paris where pinot noir is pressed off its skins within hours and comes out white. More pinot noir grows here than anywhere else in France, and almost none of it is red. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/champagne/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 29K
Brett — Pinot Country Brettanomyces, a yeast that lives in old barrels and makes phenols people describe as barnyard, plaster or clove. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/word/wine-fault-brett/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Hand harvest — Pinot Country Picking into small crates by hand, so the bunch arrives whole and the cellar decides what to do with it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/hand-harvest/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Punching down — Pinot Country Pushing the floating cap of skins back under the wine, by foot or by plunger, several times a day. Pinot's cap rises fast and dries out if nobody moves it. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/pigeage/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Yarra Valley — Pinot Country Hills north-east of Melbourne, planted in the 1830s, pulled out by the 1920s, replanted from the 1960s. Cool sites high in the valley grow pinot noir for still wine and for sparkling. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/region/yarra-valley/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 30K
Saignée — Pinot Country Bleeding juice off a red fermenter early, to raise the skin-to-juice ratio in what stays behind. The juice that comes out is sold as rosé. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/practice/saignee/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 26K
Corton — Pinot Country The hill above Aloxe, and Burgundy's largest grand cru: 95 hectares in production, nearly all of it red, and the only red grand cru on the Côte de Beaune. nanobotco.github.io/pinot-noir/vineyard/corton/ · 16-Sep-2026 · 29K
