Activities With Brownies

Challenge: Pinot Noir

This grape is native to the area of \u200b\u200bBurgundy .
is difficult cultivation, vinification complicated, and careful breeding.
In cultivation, the vines are susceptible to late frosts, by sprouting spring and has a long growing season to mature.
The grape bunches are small and compact, very SENCIBLES diseases such as mildew and Powdery mildew (which we'll discuss them later.)
The oldest vines are the wines that deliver the highest quality, but offer significant performance lower.

One of the particularities of the pinot noir, is the color.
The winemaker, must be made in a very delicate, obtaining the extract: Dye and tannin.
There are several ways to get this, but be careful, because we can get green tannins, herbaceous aromas and bitter flavors.
One of the most reliable ways to get good color and good structure, it is cold maceration pre-fermentation.
Another key point in creating a good Pinot Noir, is raising: It is particularly suited to French oak, but it must be a fastidious selection of the woods, toasted and the proportion of new wood.

Some of the Pinot Noir I've had lucky enough to try:
