About Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris, also known as Pinot Grigio in Italy, is a gray-skinned mutation of Pinot Noir and one of the most widely planted and stylistically diverse white grapes in the world. From the rich, oily, and sometimes sweet wines of Alsace to the light, crisp, citrus-driven styles of northern Italy, Pinot Gris adapts to its terroir with remarkable flexibility.

In Germany, it’s known as Grauburgunder, typically vinified dry with minerality and restraint. In the New World (USA, New Zealand, Australia), it often sits between these poles—showing juicy fruit, soft spice, and a rounded palate.

Pinot Gris has gained global popularity for its easy-drinking nature, but when made with care, it can yield complex, cellar-worthy wines with weight and texture.
