Details and technical informations about Winery Harvest Ridge's Pinot Gris.
Discover the grape variety: Pinot gris
Pinot Gris 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 gris 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 Gris 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 Gris wines are distinguished by their aromatic complexity of white fruits, mushrooms, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, etc., and their great finesse. In the Loire Valley, pinot gris is used in the Coteaux-d'Ancenis appellations. It gives dry or sweet wines with pear and peach aromas.

The wine region of Delaware
Delaware is a state on the east coast of the United States, bordered by New Jersey, Maryland and the Atlantic Ocean. Vinifera and Hybrid grapes thrive in the state's cool maritime Climate and Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Chambourcin are all planted in small quantities. However, while the neighboring states of New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia have well-established wine industries, Delaware has very little wine-making activity and only a handful of wineries produce Delaware wines. Currently, there are no American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in Delaware, other than the Generic state appellation, and Delaware wines are not well known outside the state.
The word of the wine: Polyphenols
Substance contained essentially in the skin of the grape. The main ones are anthocyanins, which give red wines their colour and tannins.
