Pinot Grigio Strana 1 z 1

Pinot Gris is a traditional variety of white wine that originated from a natural mutation of the well-known Pinot Noir. In the world, you can find it under various names, most commonly as Pinot Gris (France), Pinot Grigio (Italy), or Szürkebarát (Hungary). Thanks to its characteristic pink-gray skin, it offers a wine with a delicate aroma, balanced acidity, and pleasant fullness.

How does Pinot Gris taste?

Wine from Pinot Gris can take on several forms, from fresh dry styles to slightly sweet versions. It typically brings notes of pear, apple, white peach, as well as floral and honey nuances. In cooler regions, it is more pronounced in minerality, while in warmer areas, it has a fuller body and smoother texture.

How to choose quality Pinot Gris and what to pair it with

If you prefer fresh and lighter wines, opt for dry, mineral styles. For lovers of a slightly creamy texture, fuller versions with a hint of residual sugar are more suitable. Pinot Gris is an excellent choice with poultry, fish, creamy pasta dishes, or cheeses with a milder aroma. Serve well chilled.

Try the Slovak Pinot Gris from Matyšák winery, or the Italian Pinot Grigio from Piccini winery. For further selection, we recommend checking out the Sauvignon Blanc category, which offers fresh alternatives with more pronounced aromatics.
