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.
Major wine region of Israel encompassing Upper Galilee, Lower Galilee, and the Golan Heights, altitudes 180-1,200 m, volcanic basaltic and limestone soils. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah are the signature reds: fleshy and precise with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, Mediterranean garrigue, and a mineral touch, ripe tannins with freshness preserved by altitude. Carignan, Grenache, and Mourvèdre as reds. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc as vibrant fresh whites.
