Rich, ample whites with a golden robe, showing aromas of pear, quince, honey, smoke, ginger and spice. Made as structured dry wines (Alsace AOC), off-dry and sumptuous late-harvest sweet (vendange tardive, sélection de grains nobles). Lighter and crisper in Italy as Pinot Grigio (Veneto, Friuli). Also in Germany (Grauburgunder), Hungary (Szürkebarát) and Oregon. A grey mutation of Pinot Noir.
Central valley of San Juan (Argentina), 2nd national wine zone (~46,000 ha), altitude 600–1,400 m, desert climate with strong diurnal range, Andean glacial irrigation. Syrah is the flagship red (emblem of San Juan): powerful and sun-drenched with notes of blackberry, black cherry, stewed plum, pepper, violet and spice, round tannins and brilliant altitude fruit. Bonarda supple and Malbec dense as complements. Aromatic Torrontés, Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel for concentrated sweet wines.
