Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Baden
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Baden.
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.
German capital of Pinot Noir (Spätburgunder): silky, fine reds with notes of red fruits, cherry, undergrowth and sweet spices, melted tannins. Round Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris), lively Weissburgunder, supple Müller-Thurgau, mineral Riesling. Germany's 3rd region (15,000 ha) in Baden-Württemberg facing Alsace, one of the country's warmest climates, volcanic soils at the Kaiserstuhl. Cradle of modern great German reds, elegant and fine.
