Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Snake River Valley.
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.
Idaho's first AVA, extending into eastern Oregon, with high-altitude vineyards (760-915 m) in the Rockies. Strong day-night thermal swings. Signature Syrah at Rhône latitude: elegant and fresh with signature notes of blackberry, black cherry, black pepper, violet, black olive and a spicy touch, firm tannins — a finely chiselled cool-climate style. Solar Grenache and Mourvèdre, firm Cabernet, approachable Tempranillo.
