Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris is a grey grape from France. Grey? Yes, that is what it is called; in terms of color, it actually falls between a red and a white grape. This is the same grape as Pinot Grigio. However, wines bearing the name Pinot Gris are quite different in style. Pinot Gris wines are often beautiful, aromatic, and spicy wines with a full body and potential for great complexity. One can discover flavors of peach, apple, and honey, along with notes of spices and lychee. Because it is a grey grape and has a lot of color, rosé can also be made from it. These wines are becoming increasingly popular.

Pinot Gris: spicy and complex!

The Pinot Gris grape is part of the Pinot family. In Italy it is called Pinot Grigio, and in Germany it goes by the name Grauburgunder. It originates in France and is primarily grown in the region. Alsace. Here, the grape can develop into complex white wines with a rich and concentrated flavor profile. The wine often features notes of ripe fruit such as peach, lychee, and pear, combined with spices and minerality. Due to its higher concentration and fuller body, Pinot Gris from Alsace distinguishes itself from the lighter, fresher Pinot Grigio style from Italy, which is often simpler and less intense, with more fresh, fruity citrus notes. As a result, Pinot Gris wines are suitable for many food pairings, such as dishes with rich, creamy sauces, poultry, or dishes based on Asian spices.

Due to its versatile character, Pinot Gris has also gained a foothold in the New World, particularly in countries such as New Zealand and Australia. These regions are increasingly producing Pinot Gris wines with a ripe and exotic flavor profile, often featuring rich, tropical fruit aromas.

What is the difference between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio?

Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are different styles derived from the same grape variety, but the characteristics of the wine vary greatly depending on the region and the production process. Pinot Gris, best known from Alsace in France, often produces full-bodied, rich wines with a complex flavor profile. These wines typically have riper notes of peach, honey, and sometimes spices, resulting in an intense and layered character.

In contrast to this is Pinot Grigio, primarily from Italy, typically lighter and fresher. This style focuses on simplicity and refreshment, with aromas that more often lean towards citrus, green apple, and sometimes subtle floral hints. Pinot Grigio is often harvested early, which contributes to the higher acidity and leaner structure of the wine.

Delicious dishes with Pinot Gris

The rich and full flavor of Pinot Gris makes this wine particularly suitable for various savory dishes. For instance, Pinot Gris pairs excellently with roasted poultry, such as chicken or duck, where the wine beautifully complements the savory and spiced character of the meat. The fruity, ripe flavor of Pinot Gris also pairs well with pork dishes, especially when accompanied by spicy glazes or fruity apple or pear compotes. Additionally, the wine is a perfect match for dishes with creamy sauces, such as mushroom risotto or creamy pasta dishes, thanks to the soft acidity that supports the rich texture of these dishes. Pinot Gris also offers a nice balance with spicy Asian dishes, where the wine's fruity notes allow the spicy character of these cuisines to come into their own.
