Event Description

Jimmy Smith has created a series of nine extremely useful online workshops covering the major nine grape varieties featured in the WSET Level 3 course. These 'Noble Nine' are grape varieties that feature regularly in the WSET Level 3 examination due to the high volume of content found in the textbook (Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris/Grigio, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah/Shiraz).

These interactive workshops will explore in-depth each of these key grape varieties through important theory closely following the WSET Level 3 syllabus with a detailed presentation designed to help you understand the key factors affecting the styles produced across the regions where the grape variety is represented.

In these workshops, Jimmy will also walk you through key multiple choice and short-written answer questions to help you understand how to approach your answers for your examination. These workshops are ideal for preparation towards the WSET Level 3 Theory exam.

Session 3: Pinot Noir 

An old thin-skinned variety with many clones, it has light colour and low tannins - but care must taken not to over-extract to the detriment of primary aromas. Oak ageing at the right level can add complexity to its wines.

Early ripening, it prefers cool and moderate climates with styles ranging from light and fruity with red cherry fruit to complex and earthy with spice and forest floor notes.

Famous for the red wines of Burgundy (many prohibitively expensive) and usually not blended, high-qulity Pinot can also be found in Germany, California, New Zealand and cooler regions of Australia, South Africa and Chile.

The Workshop Registration Includes:

  • Access to 'LIVE' virtual, interactive lesson taught by Wine School founder and WSET Level 3 Certified Tutor Jimmy Smith (and access to the recording of the tasting). Students will have the opportunity to engage with him and other workshop participants online. Active engagement is very much encouraged to get the most out of the tasting, however we understand that sometimes plans can change, so all students will have access to the tasting recording.
