Marquis – Pinot noir – Barun

Marquis of Barun winery has a vibrant, ruby colour and
a gentle scent of a ripe cherry spiced up with violets, vanilla
and cinnamon. This Pinot Noir wine is macerated for 45 days
and nurtured in wooden barrels. The taste is juicy, full and
permeated with gentle and fine acids which give it freshness
as well as fine potential for aging in a bottle. Each sip caresses
the palate for a long time and evokes yet another sip. Its best
characteristics are most distinguishable when served at the
temperature between 14 and 16 0C in a large Burgundy glass.
It pairs perfectly with roast goose, duck and feathered game
of a gentler flavour such as pheasant, lamb and goatmeat, blue
fish like tuna, greater amberjack, or a larger Atlantic bonito. It
will warm the heart and soul, and give strength in an intimate
company.
Variety:
Pinot Noir is one of the oldest and noblest grape sorts. It is
extremely demanding in vineyards and cellars yet highly
rewarding for those who are dedicated to it as it offers big
and long-lasting wines with gentle colour, exquisite aromas
without too much alcohol. Its origin is still unclear. Some
claim it was created in Burgundy by crossing Savagnin Rose
and Schwarzriesling whereas others believe it comes from
Northern Africa from which it spread to Europe through
Greece in ancient times. Nowadays, its best wines are made
in colder regions such as Burgundy, Italian Southern Tyrol,
in Germany, Switzerland, Oregon, Washington USA and
New Zealand. The best Croatian Pinot Noirs come from the
Plešivica subregion in western continental Croatia, where
Krašić vineyard is also located.
