Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Yamanashi-ken.
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.
Japanese winemaking heart at the foot of Mount Fuji, signature in Koshu. Identity-driven native white (~90% of Japanese plantings): delicate, precise dry whites with notes of citrus (yuzu, lime), green apple, white flowers and a slightly saline finish, low alcohol and great freshness. Ideal with sushi and Japanese cuisine. Also Chardonnay and Merlot in the altitude zones of Akeno.
