Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio: Main Image

From light and delicate to lush and unctuous, this dry European white has been gaining in popularity recently as a lively yet smoothly textured option behind such favourites as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.

Flavor Descriptors

Although the intensity of flavours will vary depending on where it is produced, Pinot Gris can offer a range of fruit flavours including melon, peach, apricot, and pear. Typically quite floral and expressive, other trademarks are mild baking spice aromatics, subtle minerality, and a creamy lanolin-like texture. Pinot Gris is generally not oaked.
