Pinot Gris is a white wine grape grown in cool climate regions all over the world. Pinot Gris is called Pinot Grigio in Italy, and the grape is grown in many regions, although, arguably, most successfully in Alsace (France), Italy, Germany, and Oregon. Pinot Gris produces wines that are generally fruity in aroma, with flavors of honey, apple, pear, vanilla, oak, and citrus.

Overlooking the Vineyard
Misty Morning
Vineyards are usually planted on gently sloping hills. This helps eliminate "frost pockets", which can prove deadly to buds in springtime. Some moisture is good for grapes, but too much humidity will leave the grapes mushy or moldy. Cool morning temperatures around harvest time can add crispness to the grapes' flavor.
