Pinot Grigio & Gris Wine

What is Pinot Grigio & Gris Wine?

Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris wines are basically the same grape variety with different terms to address the white wine, and often come in variations of styles. Pinot Grigio is an Italian term and usually offers a light, crisp, and dry white wine, and is more citrus-forward. Whereas, Pinot Gris wine is a French term that is known for its richer styles with full-bodied flavours of stone fruits and subtle spice notes. Both are ideal white wines to sip on something refreshing with a food-friendly nature.

FAQs About Pinot Gris/Grigio Wine

What’s the difference between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio wines?

They come from the same grape, but the difference lies in the style and origin.

• Pinot Grigio: Fresh. Crisp. Dry. You’ll usually get notes of green apple, lemon, pear, and a bit of minerality. If you love Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling, you’ll feel right at home here.

• Pinot Gris: Richer. Rounder. Still refreshing, but with more texture. Expect flavours like ripe pear, stone fruit, gentle spice, and sometimes a creamy finish. It’s the kind of white that holds its own with food.

What’s the best food match for Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio wines?

These two are absolute stars when it comes to food matching.

• Pinot Grigio is the Italian style – typically light, crisp, and super refreshing. You’ll often taste citrus, green apple, and pear, with a dry, zesty finish. It’s a great choice if you enjoy bright, clean wines like Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling. This style is all about freshness and simplicity, making it a popular go-to for warm days and lighter meals.
  

• Pinot Gris, on the other hand, is the French style – usually from the Alsace region. It’s fuller-bodied, richer, and more textured. Think ripe pear, stone fruits, hints of spice, and sometimes a touch of honey or creaminess. It’s still dry but has a rounder mouthfeel and more depth, perfect for when you want something with a little more complexity that still goes down easy.

So, same grape, different personalities. If you're after something crisp and lean, go Grigio. Want something with a bit more weight and flavour? Gris is your pick.

Is there a difference between Australian and Italian Pinot Grigio wine?

Yes! Italian Pinot Grigio wine tends to be ultra-light, dry, and crisp – made for refreshment. Australian Pinot Grigio wine often keeps that freshness but can offer a bit more fruitiness and character thanks to the climate and winemaking style. You'll also find that Australian Pinot Gris leans richer and more aromatic.

Can Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris wine age well?

While most Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are made to be enjoyed young and fresh, some premium Pinot Gris – especially those with more structure and acidity – can develop beautifully over a few years. You'll notice deeper flavours, more complexity, and a rounder mouthfeel as they age.

How should I serve Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris wine?

Best served chilled – around 8–10°C (or straight out of the fridge after 15 minutes of resting). Use a standard white wine glass to let the aromas shine, and don’t be afraid to experiment with pairings. These wines are surprisingly food-friendly.

Is Pinot Gris/Grigio wine dry or sweet?

Most Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are dry wines. Pinot Grigio is typically drier and crisper, while Pinot Gris, although still dry, can feel a little rounder and fruitier. However, some winemakers do produce off-dry or slightly sweet styles—check the tasting notes or product description for details
