We specialise in the best of premium pinot noir
as grown so beautifully in the cool climes of Tasmania, New Zealand and southern parts of the big Australian continent. Our love for pinot extends to its sibling styles pinot gris and grigio and fizzy cousins sparkling wine and Champagne, even when they don’t contain pinot noir.
That’s not to say we’ve become too exclusive
We also stock an interesting range of delicious wines for those (rare) times when you’re not drinking pinot.
Look through our website or visit our shop and you’ll find a special collection of wines of many styles from many parts of the world. They warrant space on our real and virtual shelves because someone loves them – either you our customers or else we’ve done some serious taste testing to make sure that they can be recommended with confidence as essential to the enjoyment of life.
Sometimes we can secure only tiny volumes
such is the demand for the world’s best wines, so the real shop has a much bigger stock range than we can list on the website. Do contact us as we love nothing better than talking you through (via phone…. or email….) our trove of treasures.
If you’re as impressed as we are by the design features and construction of pinotshop.com you might want to talk to the good folk at Jaffa Design…
