4. Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Barkan's Pinot Noir so light and fresh?
This is because the grapes are grown in the highest and coolest areas of Galilee and Judea. This allows the Pinot Noir grape to maintain its natural acidity and delicate red fruit aromas without becoming heavy.
What type of glass is recommended for this wine?
A Burgundy-type glass (with a wide bowl) is recommended. Its design allows the subtle floral and fruity aromas of the Pinot Noir to properly aerate for a better sensory experience.
