In the glass
Aroma: red berries, toasted almond
Palate: raspberry frangipane, bergamot orange
The Pinot-led half of Ridgeview's signature pair. Bright red berry aromas and toasted almond give way to raspberry frangipane and a touch of bergamot orange, bold but balanced and built as a dinner-table wine.
What it pairs with
-
Roast duck
Ridgeview names duck on the bottle's own pairing list; the pinots carry the fat. -
Pan fried trout
A producer suggestion, the red berry weight matching an oily freshwater fish. -
Charcuterie
Also on the estate's pairing list, cured meat salt against the wine's acidity.
