Pinot Gris on the Vine


Pinot Gris Clusters Posted by Picasa
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.
