Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Indiana Uplands
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Indiana Uplands.
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.
AVA (2013) of southern Indiana on the Uplands hills, harsh continental climate with humid summers requiring hybrid varieties. Traminette (Gewürztraminer × Joannes Seyve) as the signature aromatic white: intense notes of lychee, rose, exotic fruits and a spicy touch, lively acidity. Chambourcin as the signature supple red: red fruits and spices. Vignoles (crisp, citrus) and Chardonel (Chardonnay × Seyval) as complementary whites.
