The Pinot Noir Kit

The Pinot Noir Grape and Vine

Pinot Noir got its name from the pine-cone shape its small to medium-sized berries form on the vine. It is difficult to make any generalizations about Pinot Noir because of its tendency to mutate, thus creating more variation among plants than varieties. Its skin can be thick or thin, with tannin and pigmentation high in some while low in others, however it is generally agreed that it is best suited to cooler, more marginal climates. It buds and ripens earlier than most classic red varieties, yet it needs time on the vine to reach complexity. Pinot Noir likes to struggle for its nutrients and responds best to dense plantings in the vineyard and low yields at harvest.

AROMA LIFE EXPECTANCY

We use a food-safe preservative in our aroma formulations to maximize their stability and shelf-life.

There still will be a slow deterioration in the quality of aromas over time; some more than others.

If the bottles are re-capped immediately after each time they are opened and stored away from excessive heat and light, then this process would normally be measured in years.

If stored/used incorrectly, then this will obviously happen more quickly.

We haven't yet put a 'definitive' shelf-life limit on our products because our own internal quality control checks are yet to detect an appreciable difference with time in the aroma quality! Also, we have had no consumer complaints or product returned due to concerns over premature loss of quality over time. Nonetheless, we are constantly striving to improve and expand our products. If an aroma does exhibit a loss of intensity, we will replace it.
