Pinot Noir. The most important feature of Pinot Noir's dry red wine is that the tannins are not obvious, which leads to a relatively light body overall, with a medium acidity and a soft mouthfeel. In terms of aroma, the aroma is dominated by notes of strawberry, cherry, vanilla and raspberry.
Syrah. Syrah wine is more famous in Australia, the taste is a bit close to Cabernet Sauvignon, with a rich taste and more prominent tannins, and the wine is also relatively thick. Compared to Cabernet Sauvignon, there are fewer single brews, and Syrah is more single-flavored, with a class of its own, with aromas dominated by blueberry, blackcurrant, violet and plum notes.
Merlot. Most of the time Merlot is blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, but it can also be brewed on its own. It is full-bodied, with medium to low acidity, so it is easier to drink, but the alcohol content is relatively high. The nose also reveals notes of strawberry, cherry, blackcurrant and herb.
