Barefoot Pinot Noir (3L, 13.5%)

A California Pinot Noir in a 3-litre bag-in-box format, equivalent to four standard bottles. The grapes are sourced mainly from California's Central Valley and harvested at night to keep the berries firm; the blend includes small amounts of Zinfandel and Barbera alongside Pinot Noir, with temperature-controlled fermentation. The bag-in-box uses a vacuum-sealed inner bladder that limits oxygen exposure, keeping the wine fresh for several weeks after opening. The nose leads with brown baking spice, ripe dark cherry and wild raspberry, with a gentle vanilla undercurrent. The palate is fruit-forward with red and black cherry, blackberry and raspberry, plus whispers of vanilla and warm spice in soft tannins. The finish is smooth and medium in length, with lingering cherry fruit and a trace of spice.
