Learn More About Organic Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris is a pink-skinned mutation of Pinot Noir with roots in Burgundy, though Alsace made the richer, textural style famous. It is the same grape as Pinot Grigio, but the name “Pinot Gris” usually signals a fuller, softer and more aromatic expression. Organic Pinot Gris is a beautiful choice when you want a white wine with pear, spice and a little palate weight.

What Does Organic Pinot Gris Taste Like?

Organic Pinot Gris is usually medium-bodied and textural, with pear, apple, stonefruit, citrus blossom, ginger spice and a soft, rounded palate. Some styles are dry and fresh, while others feel more luscious, silky or gently savoury.

Where Does Pinot Gris Grow Well In Australia?

Pinot Gris does well in cooler and moderate regions where it can keep freshness while developing texture. Tasmania, Adelaide Hills, Mornington Peninsula, King Valley, Yarra Valley, Orange and parts of the Great Southern are all well suited to elegant, aromatic styles.

Food Pairing With Organic Pinot Gris

Pair Pinot Gris with roast chicken, pork, creamy pasta, prawns, pumpkin dishes, soft cheeses, Thai flavours and lightly spiced vegetarian meals. Its texture makes it especially useful with dishes that are richer than a crisp Sauvignon Blanc can handle.
