RUA Pinot Noir is made in a juicy, fruit forward style, soft on the tannins with bright acidity. This makes it an easy match for a large range of flavours and dishes from salami and soft goat's cheese to woodfired pizza to a creamy chicken Marsala. We especially love how well RUA Pinot Noir accompanies chilli and roasted Asian flavours of soy and sesame – a perfect match to pork and mushroom dumplings!
