Pinot Gris

A versatile member of the Pinot family, capable of producing wines from crisp and delicate to rich and textural

White International 1,443 ha

Pinot Gris is a mutation of Pinot Noir and is known for the unusual grey-pink colour of its skins. The variety is also widely known as Pinot Grigio, particularly in Italy.

Depending on climate and winemaking style, it can produce wines ranging from light, fresh and crisp to fuller-bodied expressions with ripe fruit, spice, almond and subtle honeyed notes.

THE GRAPE

Pinot Gris in Romania

Around 1,443 hectares of Romanian vineyards are planted with Pinot Gris. The variety has adapted successfully to the country's diverse climates and soils and has become one of the established international white grapes in Romanian viticulture.

Romanian Pinot Gris typically combines ripe fruit with refreshing acidity. Pear, stone fruit and citrus are common aromatic references, while riper examples can show floral, tropical, almond or lightly honeyed nuances. Depending on vineyard conditions and vinification, styles can range from bright and delicate to broader and more textural.

Important areas for Pinot Gris include Transylvania, Moldova and Muntenia. Differences in altitude, temperature and soil allow the variety to express noticeably different personalities across these regions.

In cooler areas, Pinot Gris can retain greater freshness and precision, while warmer vineyards favour riper fruit, fuller texture and greater concentration. Romanian winemakers use both stainless steel and oak maturation, depending on the desired style, from youthful and fruit-driven wines to more complex and structured expressions.
