Pinot Gris

Grape Variety

Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are two names for the same grape, with two familiar styles to explore. In Alsace, Pinot Gris tends towards a rich, medium- to full-bodied white with floral character, while Italian Pinot Grigio is known for a lighter, leaner style. The grape is a colour mutation of Pinot Noir, with skins that can run from blue-grey to pinkish-brown. Try both expressions to discover whether you prefer a little more weight in your glass or a lighter touch.
