Yes, Pinot Gris is generally dry, but its sweetness can vary depending on where it’s produced. The term "dry" means the wine has little to no residual sugar, and Pinot Gris typically fits this profile, especially in styles produced in regions like Italy and France.
Here’s a closer look:
-
Pinot Grigio (Italy): Usually completely dry with high acidity and a crisp profile. It often has a hint of bitterness, like almond, in its finish.
-
Pinot Gris (France): While generally dry, French Pinot Gris, especially from Alsace, can exhibit a richer texture and complex honeyed notes. Some Alsace Pinot Gris wines may even lean slightly sweet, particularly late-harvest styles labeled "Vendanges Tardives."
-
Other Region: Pinot Gris produced in these areas can vary, often offering bolder fruit flavors and slightly less acidity, but they’re predominantly dry. An excellent example is the Australian McLaren Spring Seed Pinot Grigio 'Poppy' 2021. This wine offers a light and refreshing profile, delicately showcasing notes of nashi pear and citrus. Its smooth, clean palate and elegant finish make it a delightful choice. Serve it chilled to enjoy as a refreshing aperitif or pair it with light pasta dishes and mild cheeses for an exceptional experience.
