Pinot Noir Reserve

Beykush's Pinot Noir Reserve is the producer's serious red, made from three Pinot Noir clones planted across two parcels on the Beykush peninsula. Each clone is fermented separately in a mix of stainless steel and oak vessels, then aged twelve months in French oak barrels before blending and bottling. 12% ABV, dry. Production-dated 11 February 2025 on the back label.

Pinot Noir is one of the experimental plantings the estate has invested in seriously. Bessarabian conditions are not classical Pinot terrain - warm, distant from the cool nights of Burgundy - but the seaside influence and southern altitude moderate ripening enough that the variety has become one of Beykush's quiet wartime successes.
