Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of North East Victoria
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of North East Victoria.
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.
North-east Victoria zone (Australia), world home of Rutherglen fortified wines: syrupy Muscats and Topaques with raisin, fig, date, caramel, coffee, honey and spice notes, blends up to 50 years old, among the most opulent in the world. High-altitude King Valley excels in fresh Glera sparkling (Prosecco — pear, apple, flowers) and Pinot Grigio. Beechworth signs precise Chardonnay (citrus, nut butter) and peppery high-altitude Shiraz. A multi-style treasure.
