Wines made from Pinot gris grapes of Southern Oregon
Discover the best wines made with Pinot gris as a single variety or as a blend of Southern Oregon.
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.
Southwest Oregon AVA (2004), warmer and drier than Willamette Valley. Southern and Bordeaux varieties as signature. Tempranillo signature red: supple with signature notes of ripe cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice hint, round tannins and sun-drenched palate — the emerging specialty. Bright peppery Syrah (blackberry, black olive), firm Cabernet, round Merlot, fruity Grenache.
