Discovering the wine region of Georgia

Georgia is a state in the Southeastern United States, bordered by Alabama to the west and Florida to the south. Georgia was once one of the largest wine producing states in the country. However, the early arrival (1905) of Prohibition here killed the Georgia wine industry until the 1980s. Today, Georgia is one of the largest wine producing states in the southeastern United States.

Vinifera, Hybrid and native Grape varieties are grown here for wine production. Viticulture in Georgia occurs primarily in the Northern Part of the state, in the southernmost parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Elevations between 400 and 670 meters above sea level provide a suitable environment for grapevines and temper the heat and humidity usually associated with Georgia's Climate.

Discover the grape variety: Pinot grigio

Pinot grigio is a grey grape variety mutated from Pinot Noir. It has its origins in Burgundy, where it is called pinot-beurot in reference to the colour of the grey robes worn by the monks of the region. Established in Alsace since the 17th century, pinot grigio was called tokay until 2007. It is made up of bunches of small berries that vary in colour from pink to blue-grey. It is particularly well suited to the continental climate because it is resistant to the cold in winter and to spring frosts. This variety also likes dry limestone soils with plenty of sunshine in the summer. pinot grigio is well suited to late harvesting or to the selection of noble grapes, depending on the year and the concentration of sugars in the berries. Pinot grigio wines are distinguished by their aromatic complexity of white fruits, mushrooms, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, etc., and their great finesse. In the Loire Valley, pinot grigio is used in the Coteaux-d'Ancenis appellations. It gives dry or sweet wines with pear and peach aromas.
