Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Old Mission Peninsula
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Old Mission Peninsula.
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.
Michigan AVA, ~31 km peninsula in Grand Traverse Bay (Lake Michigan), near-maritime climate moderated by the waters. Riesling signature cool-climate white king: tense and chiseled with lime, green apple, peach, white flowers, honey and slate touch, vibrant palate from dry to off-dry. Precise Chardonnay (citrus, butter), full Pinot Gris, aromatic Gewürztraminer (lychee, rose). Fine Pinot Noir (cherry, raspberry), peppery Cabernet Franc, supple Merlot.
