Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio
A first class grape variety grown in Alsace, where it is known
as Tokay Pinot Gris, and in Italy, where it is called Pinot
Grigio. In Alsace it is best suited to the deep, clay rich soils found in
the north of the region where it produces richly honeyed, dry whites as well as
superb sweet late harvest wines. At its best it combines the heady perfume and
rich aroma of Gewürztraminer with the
acidity one associates with Riesling. It ages very
well, developing rich buttery characteristics.
In Northern Italy Pinot Grigio produces many thin undistinguished dry whites. However it comes into its own in Friuli-Venezia and the Alto Adige, where leading producers such as Alvaro Pecorari of Lis Neris produce marvellously rounded, elegant, and mineral laden examples. Pinot Gris is now grown with notable success in Oregon in the USA and in New Zealand.

"Currently everyones favourite white grape variety, thanks largely to New
Zealands recent love-affair. This is a fabulous, good value example of a
single-site wine from the home of Pinot Gris: Alsace. From a top vintage, this
off-dry style is terrific. Thanks to its cool, elevated ...

"Restrained yet profound warm summer honeysuckle notes together with a hint of comice pear and sweet spice.

Brown spiced apple and peach in the nose of the 2005 Pinot Gris Zellberg lead to a palate that nicely incorporates fresh fruit into its rich, chalky, oily, lush palate. Smokiness – and a bit of heat from the wine’s nearly 15% alcohol –emerge in the finish. Andre Ostertag ... MORE The Wine Advocate Score: 89/100 | ||||
