Pinot Gris
This grape is a mutation from the red pinot noir and family of the pinot blanc. It grows in relatively cool regions. Pinot Gris is the same grape as Pinot Grigio but usually grown in France.
Taste
The pinot gris wine has an average acidity. The most wines are quite modest in smell and taste. White fruit (peach, lemon), gravel/mineral accents and spiciness are characteristic flavor elements. Some producers make highly concentrated pinot gris wines (both dry and sweet), with more complex elements.
