Pinot Grigio
Top countries producing this wine: |
One of the most familiar grape names to any wine drinker, Pinot Grigio is the Italian name for the Pinot Gris of France, named for its pinkish-grey skin. One of the best-known mutations of Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio is much appreciated for its soft, gentle texture, light body and pleasing perfume. While Italy makes a light, crisp style, the Pinot Gris of Alsace is bolder, riper and fatter, with rich flavors that stand up to the traditional cured sausages and hearty cuisine of the region. Oregon producers, for the most part, also call their flavorful version Pinot Gris. Along with Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris has become a flagship grape for this region. The body is often fuller than the Italian style, with concentrated flavors of peach, apple, lime sherbet, and almonds. |

Winemaking in New Zealand dates back to their colonial times (the mid-1800s) but never really took off until the 1970s. Since then, New Zealand has gradually earned a reputation for producing high-quality wines, with their Sauvignon Blancs receiving widespread critical acclaim as they popularized a unique, assertive style for the grape. New Zealand’s climate and geography play an important role in winemaking within the country. Many of the best wine regions lie in valleys carved out of the mountains that dominate the country, protecting vineyards from wind while the mountains help block excessive rain. Since New Zealand is an island nation, the surrounding waters tend to moderate temperatures, providing for cooler summers and milder winters and protecting the grapes from temperature extremes. The most famous wine region in New Zealand is Marlborough, which is known for producing tremendous Sauvignon Blancs. New Zealand winemakers are also known for their highly-rated Pinot Noirs. |
