Pinot Gris Strana 1 z 1

Pinot Gris is a traditional grape variety of white wine, originating from a natural mutation of Pinot Noir. Around the world it appears under several names, most commonly Pinot Grigio (Italy), Rulandské šedé (Central Europe) and Szürkebarát (Hungary). Its characteristic pink-grey skin gives the wine a delicate aroma, balanced acidity and a pleasantly rounded body.

What does Pinot Gris taste like?

Wines made from Pinot Gris can vary widely — from fresh, dry styles to gently sweet expressions. They typically offer notes of pear, apple, white peach, as well as floral and honeyed accents. Cooler regions tend to produce more mineral-driven wines, while warmer climates result in fuller, smoother textures.

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

If you enjoy fresh and lighter wines, choose dry, mineral styles. For those who prefer a creamier texture, fuller versions with a touch of residual sugar are ideal. Pinot Gris pairs beautifully with poultry, fish, creamy pasta dishes and mild cheeses. Serve well-chilled.
