Pinot Noir is a red grape that is one of the most challenging to grow in any part of the world. Due to its thin skin and t… ight bunches, it is susceptible to both mould and disease. However, when it is successful, it produces some of the most amazing wines in the world. Although its home is Burgundy, it has emerged as a popular variety in Australia. Representing only 1% of grapes crushed, it has built a high profile with a number of world-class, distinctly Australian wines being produced.Â
