Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Continental Region
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Continental Region.
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.
Vast inland Croatia (Kontinentalna Hrvatska) from Karlovac to Vukovar via Zagreb, continental climate distinct from the Mediterranean coast. Signature Graševina (Welschriesling) as white king: lively and fruity with notes of green apple, pear, citrus, white flowers, sweet almond and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the inland soul (two-thirds whites). Aromatic Traminac (lychee, rose), fine Pinot Blanc, full Chardonnay, taut Riesling. Airy Pinot Noir emerges.
