Pinot Gris

Another indigenous white Alsace variety, but in a higher league than its close relative Pinot Blanc. That’s because great Pinot Gris has a honeyed richness, muskiness and complexity that is almost unique. In comparison, Italy’s much more common and commercial interpretation of the grape ‘Pinot Grigio’ is lightweight by comparison.
