THE REMARKABLE UNIQUENESS OF PINOT GRIS.

Pinot Gris is truly an exceptional mutation of Pinot Noir that can produce delectable white wine. It is a grape that has one of the darkest skins and yet is used to create white wines, easily rivaling top Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, and other white wine grapes.

The grapes vary from brownish pink to almost gray-blue in color and sometimes they would be on the same bunch. The wine these grapes produce tends to be deep golden or even copper-toned. We have trained staff that has been working for several years with this varietal, so you can be sure we know what to pick for you.

Here at Dundee Vintners, we share a winery with Dobbes Family Estate and Wine by Joe, both huge names in Oregon’s booming wine industry. Our decades of experience and commitment allow us to produce top-notch wines made from Pinot Gris, one of the most interesting varietals we have ever seen. While often soft, it can also be full-bodied with a spicy aroma. We just love how the fruit from Pinot Gris can have more weight and character than Pinot Noir’s other, lighter-colored mutation Pinot Blanc.

You may have heard about Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio, along with the discussions as to which is which. The former stemmed from its original Alsatian name while the latter is the Italian version. While genetically identical, often the winemaking style differs dramatically, which can yield totally different results. Historically, Pinot Grigios have been mass produced, yielding light, fruity and acidic wines. However, skilled winemakers can produce medium- and full-bodied Pinot Gris wines. Truly, few other grape have such a perplexing identity crisis (for instance, Chardonnay may be a lean, citrusy wine or even buttery and oaky, yet no one would question its different personalities).

Winemakers love the malleable character of the wine since they can make it heavy or light and then oaked or unoaked. Wine drinkers welcome its food-friendly quality. Depending on your winemaking style, Pinot Gris can yield wines that are crisp and light to full-bodied and complex; be paired with light hors d’oeuvres as an apertif or with venison, foie gras, and even lamb; or be at home with French, Italian, German, and even Asian cuisines.

While the others may debate if it is Pinot Gris or Grigio, you do not have to worry about what to call it. Instead, you can focus on utilizing the flexible nature of Pinot Gris to craft your own distinctive wine.
