Pinot Gris grapes are a relative of Pinot Noir and have a grayish-blue color, which is how they get their name.
Pinot Gris is a white wine grape variety that is known for producing light-bodied and refreshing wines. It originated in the Burgundy region of France, where it is known as Pinot Gris. It is now grown in many wine regions around the world, including Italy, where it is called Pinot Grigio.
They are typically grown in cooler climates, which helps to preserve the acidity and delicate flavors of the wine.

When it comes to flavor, Pinot Grigio wines can vary depending on where they’re grown and how they’re made.
These wines are known for their subtle fruit flavors, such as green apple, citrus, and pear.

Some Pinot Gris wines are aged in oak barrels to add complexity and richness, but most are consumed young and fresh.
