Pinot Griss in the USA
Pinot Gris
Wines made from the Pinot gris vary greatly and are dependent on the region
and wine making style they are from. Alsatian Pinot gris are medium to full
bodied wines with a rich, somewhat floral bouquet. They tend to be spicy in
comparisons with other Pinot gris. While most Pinot gris are meant to be
consumed early, Alsatian Pinot gris can age well. German Pinot gris are more
full-bodied with a balance of acidity and slight sweetness. In Oregon the
wines are medium bodied with a yellow to copper-pink color and aromas of
pear, apple, and/or melon. In California, the Pinot gris are more light
bodied with a crisp, refreshing taste with some pepper and arugula notes.
The Pinot grigio style of Italy is a light-bodied, often lean wine that is
light in color with sometimes spritzy flavors that can be crisp and acidic.]
Although this wine can be very sweet, it will begin to lose its acidity when
it is nearly ripe.
