Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris Wine Details
Price:

Description: Aromas of honey, pear, apricot, pineapple cake, lychee nut, red delicious apple, bees wax – it’s all there in copious quantities. The residual sugar in the beginning makes the fruit flavors burst as if you’re eating the actual fruit itself, and the wine’s texture makes it easy to imagine eating a fresh, juicy peach with its fuzzy exterior grazing the surface of your tongue. The acid is equally high and begins to focus the wine at the mid-palate adding great length and ease to the finish.

Varietal Definition
Pinot Grigio/Gris:
Pinkish-white variety producing a very crisp white wine. Grown in Oregon, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and more and more in California, it shows promise for other cool climates. Also known as Tokay d'Alsace in France, Rulander in Germany, and Pinot Grigio in Italy.
