Judges Comments:
Pairing Recommendation:
Pinot Noir is lighter in colour and richness than some reds but does not lack in power to enhance a wide range of dishes. Fabulous with duck confit with duck fat roasted potatoes, rack of lamb with herb crust and meltingly delicious slow-cooked pork belly. It can partner poultry as well as beefy casseroles, and the iconic pizza margherita is absolutely yummy with Pinot.

Indian-Inspired BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
The spicy overtone of the moist chicken contrasts splendidly with the Pinot’s fruity flavours and velvety mouthfeel.
