SIPS Pinot Noir and Dark Berry

Tap to rate

Rich, dark wine grapes and bright fruit tones overlap with black currant and blackberry, carried by a sweet-sour base that brightens both; the sour is juicy, tart and intense. Pinot Noir grapes, black currants and blackberries are fruited into the Berliner Weisse. It belongs to Parish's SIPS line of fruited sours and is part of the year-round lineup.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with vibrant acidity and juicy tartness that frames a full spectrum of dark fruit character—blackberry, black currant, and subtle Pinot Noir influence blend seamlessly. The sour backbone is both intense and refined, bright rather than harsh, with a gentle sweetness balancing the tart complexity throughout the mid-palate.
