What is the actual difference between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio?
While both wines are made from the same grey-skinned grape variety, the difference lies in the winemaking style.
Pinot Grigio (the Italian style) is typically light-bodied, crisp, and high in acidity. Pinot Gris (the French style) is medium-to-full-bodied, sweet, low in acidity, richer in texture, and often features spicier, more floral notes.
Which Australian regions produce the best Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio?
