Mushroom Risotto and Pinot Noir Pairing

Mushroom risotto is a masterclass in comfort-rich, creamy, and packed with flavour from mushrooms, parmesan, butter, and garlic. It’s earthy, savoury, and satisfying from the very first spoonful.

Enter our Pinot Noir: light on its feet, with soft tannins and bright acidity that lifts the dish rather than overpowering it.

Our Pinot Noir kicks off with ripe strawberry and a hint of spice, flowing into juicy red berries and zippy acidity. It’s the perfect plus-one to mushroom risotto-earthy meets elegant in every bite and sip. A pairing that just gets each other.

And if you’re feeling fancy? Add a splash of the same Pinot Noir to your risotto base. It’s a simple touch that deepens the flavour, tying your dish and wine together with a ribbon of fruit and spice. Très bon.
