Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Badacsony.
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.
Emblematic zone of Hungarian Balaton, north shore on extinct volcanoes with unique basalt soils. Signature structured mineral whites: basalt releases potassium and magnesium, conferring striking minerality and salinity. Rare reborn native Kéknyelű with signature notes of lemon, white apple, fresh herbs and a smoky mineral touch. Olaszrizling (most planted) fresh, Szürkebarát (Pinot Gris) ample, taut Furmint.
