Pinot Gris is a deliciously refreshing white wine that features zesty citrus flavors and a bright, exciting acidity. Often confused with each other, Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are actually made from the same variety of grape. Their different names reflect their country of origin, Pinot Gris from France and Pinot Grigio from Italy.
French Pinot Gris are sometimes considered more unctuous and fuller than Italian Pinot Grigio. Pinot Gris is more on the drier side of white wine, but has a hint of sweetness and often carries flavors of honey. Pinot Gris is a great choice for those who enjoy Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, or Chenin Blanc. Serve Pinot Gris chilled, and pair with fresh vegetables, fish or shellfish, or grilled white meat. Order Pinot Gris online from Country Wine & Spirits and enjoy the zesty tartness of this French varietal.
