Pinot Gris, also known as Pinot Grigio in Italy, is a versatile white grape variety that produces a wide range of wine styles, depending on the region and winemaking approach. Originating from France, where it is particularly associated with Alsace, Pinot Gris is known for its rich, full-bodied wines with flavours of ripe pear, apple, and subtle spice, often with a slightly oily texture and a touch of honeyed sweetness. In contrast, the Italian Pinot Grigio style is typically lighter, crisper, and more refreshing, with citrus and green apple notes, making it a popular choice for easy-drinking, everyday wines. In Australia and New Zealand, Pinot Gris is gaining popularity, offering wines that often balance the richness of Alsace with the freshness of Italian styles. Its adaptability to various climates and winemaking techniques makes Pinot Gris a favourite for both winemakers and wine enthusiasts, offering a broad spectrum of flavours and expressions.
