Pinot Gris or Pinot Grigio

Pinot Gris, or Pinot Grigio, is a versatile white/red grape variety that has pink flesh and can be made clear and white, or dark and orange. Some stunning expressions of white Pinot Gris come from Alsace, where you'll find beautifully fine, textural and aromatic styles with ripe stonefruit, orchard fruit, melon, almond, zesty citrus, salinity, crushed gravel and subtle smokiness. In Italy, it is used to make complex, savoury and textured orange expressions that are more akin to a red wine than white.
