A subtle pinkish hue in the glass leads into flavours of lime and apple with a sweet pear drop edge. Clean and fresh, although with low acidity, it stays balanced along a line of creamy ginger and cloves. Complex, full and still vibrant. An intruiging wine!

Origin: Burgundy, in eastern France. Mainly Grown In: Italy (as Pinot Grigio), Germany (as Grauburgunder - the local name for Pinot Gris), USA, France (as Pinot Gris). Key Facts: Drum roll please… Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are two different names for THE SAME GRAPE VARIETY. The use of Gris or Grigio depends on which country the grape was grown in and subtle stylistic differences. Pinot Grigio is the Italian version, and is typically known for being light and zesty. Where as Pinot Gris, the French version of the grape, is often richer and riper tasting with some spiciness. When made outside of Italy and France, Grigio or Gris name is used as a marker to define the style that the winemaker thinks it suits best; lean like Italian Pinot Grigio or riper and rounder like the French Pinot Gris. Fun Fact: Did you know that Pinot Grigio is one of the earlier ripening grapes? This means it's often one of the first varietals picked at harvest, and one of the first to be bottled and sold.
