Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Shumen.
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.
Star region of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast (North), national capital of white wine, with summers tempered by sea breezes. Chardonnay signature in white: taut citrus, green apple, mango, white flowers and persistent mineral touch, racy acidity, sometimes barrel-aged for added roundness. Sauvignon Blanc crisp and aromatic Muscat as complements. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in structured reds.
