Pinot Gris is a white grape variety known for producing aromatic wines. Originating from France, it is a mutation of the Pinot Noir grape. The wines can range from dry to sweet and are often characterized by flavors of pear, apple, and floral notes. This grape is widely grown in regions like Italy, where it is called Pinot Grigio, and in Oregon, which has gained recognition for its high-quality expressions. Pinot Gris wines typically have a medium body and a crisp acidity, making them versatile for food pairings.
