Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Freiburg
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Freiburg.
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.
Southern Baden at the foot of the Black Forest, among Germany's warmest climates, sheltered by the Vosges. Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is the signature red: fleshy and silky with notes of black cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, and a volcanic smoky touch from the Kaiserstuhl, fine tannins. Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) is full and Weißburgunder (Pinot Blanc) is taut as whites with notes of pear, almond, and a honeyed touch. Refreshing and thirst-quenching Gutedel (Chasselas) from Markgräflerland.
