- Posted on
This week, we're celebrating one of the world's most iconic and versatile grape varietals: Pinot Noir!
Though the exact origins of this humble grape remain a mystery, it's believed that Pinot Noir has been cultivated across the globe since the 1st century AD. It was the Cistercian monks of France during the Medieval period who first brought this grape into the spotlight, laying the foundation for modern European winemaking.
