Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Pinot Noir Rosé

Exquisite Pinot Noir rosé flavour pairings and recipes, revealed through data science.

Pinot Noir rosé is defined by the flavour of raspberry and cherry, woven with delicate hints of blackberry, rose, and blossom that give it remarkable depth. The artistry of the kitchen unfolds when we pair Pinot Noir rosé with ingredients that let these nuances sing.

To chart these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, each deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, pinpointing the notes that best complement this ingredient’s profile. Our exploration reveals, for instance, how the warm, spicy eugenol in clove can infuse with Pinot Noir rosé, and how cinnamon stick's cinnamaldehyde notes forge a beautiful synergy with its bright sweetness.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. acidic, floral, and nectarous) enhanced by layers of subtle aroma notes (outer bars). When pairing ingredients, aim for a mix of core traits to build balance, and select complementary aroma notes to create harmony.

The Art of Flavour Pairing

How Flavonomics Works

We've pioneered a unique, data-driven approach to decode the intricate art of flavour pairing. Our goal is to move beyond intuition and uncover the science of why certain ingredients harmonise beautifully. This rigorous methodology allows us to provide you with insightful and reliable pairing recommendations.

Our analysis begins with over 50,000 carefully selected recipes from acclaimed chefs like Galton Blackiston, Marcello Tully, and Pierre Lambinon. This premium dataset ensures our model distils genuine culinary excellence and creativity.

Each ingredient from these recipes is deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, creating a unique numerical "flavour fingerprint." This quantification allows us to apply advanced analytical methods to identify complex patterns between flavour notes.

We identify popular ingredient combinations that frequently appear in our recipe database. Regression analysis is then performed on these pairings to statistically validate and pinpoint truly harmonious flavours.

These insights drive our predictive model, which allows us to take any ingredient (e.g., Pinot Noir Rosé), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
