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.

Pinot Gris on the Vine
Pinot Gris Clusters
Pinot Gris is usually a mid-harvest grape, while its counterpart, Pinot Noir, is an early-harvest grape. The picture above was taken about a week before harvest. Note how the grapes hang on the lower half of the vine, maximizing morning sun exposure, when the grapes are most vulnerable to excess moisture. This also makes picking the grapes very quick and easy.
