Pinot bloody noir. For a grape so sparsely planted in this country, there are more paeans of adulation per vine penned about pinot than almost any other grape variety. Even riesling, and that's saying something.
(For the record: there are just 4948 hectares of pinot planted around Australia, or 4 per cent of the total area under vine. Riesling occupies 3157 hectares, or 2 per cent, of our 135,177 hectares of vineland.*)
