Argentina can do Pinot too.
Delicate, bright and expressive, Altura Pinot Noir comes from the cooler, higher sites of the Uco Valley. Red berries, rose petals, a little forest floor and the lightness that only Pinot delivers.
Tastes like: Wild strawberry and rose petal, with clove and subtle earthiness.
Feels like: Light-bodied and dry, with soft tannins, bright freshness and a light touch of oak.
Great with: Roast chicken, mushroom risotto. Or charcuterie and your next Netflix binge.
Singapore and Asian favourites: Tuna tataki, duck pancakes, yakitori.
The geeky bit: Pinot Noir planted above 1,200 metres in Gualtallary, in the Uco Valley. Cool nights and rocky soils give lifted aromas and juicy acidity.
Accolades: 94 pts Descorchados
Why we like it: Norton has the altitude, and the attitude, to prove Pinot belongs here.
Serve: 14 to 16°C. Room temperature in Singapore is too warm for red wine, so give it 20 minutes in the fridge first.
Alcohol: 13%
