Default which winemakers produce Pinot Noir wines having the highest resveratrol levels?

I know Pinot Noir wines have some of the highest resveratrol levels. I'm interested in finding the winemakers that produce Pinot Noir wines that have the highest level of resveratrol in the world.

Sorry but Pinot Noir has the highest level of resveratrol (Univesity of Bordeaux demonstrated it). You will need to find a cool climate Pinot Noir: Burgundy/Oregon?New Zealand.
Also, it has been demonstrated that Organic Pinot Noir has a 30 % higher amount.
The Resveratrol is the result of a enzymatic degradation of polyphenols contains in the grape skin. However, Pinot Noir is known to have a smaller concentration of phenols but the enzymatic reaction is way bigger than any varietals.

The scientists who researched revesterol and produced the report that wasin teh news found that Merlot from Chile had the highest levels of revesterol.

However, I think that the actual difference is not that great, and any red wine will offer you enough, so you may as well continue buying your favorite red wine.

But since revesterol comes from the grape skins, you get less in Pinot Noir because their grapes have thinner skins.
