2018 Dopff Signature Pinot Gris Tradition What makes Pinot Gris different from Pinot Grigio?When faced with the choice on a wine list, the question is often asked “What makes Pinot Gris different from Pinot Grigio?” or “Why don’t they taste the same?” Well, it is not because they are made from different grapes. In fact, they are genetically identical. The Pinot Gris grape is a close relative of Pinot Noir and has greyish-blue, light-purple coloured grapes. Despite its appearance, it is officially a white grape. Its grey tinge explains its name; gris means grey in French, and it has its origins in France. The grape is most commonly cultivated in the Alsace region. This style of wine leans towards being a rich, full-bodied expression because it is made from riper grapes. Its mouthfeel can be oily or viscous thanks to the extra sweetness and occasional use of barrel fermentation. Pinot Gris wines are fabulous paired with food, teaming well with roast meats, pâtés and even creamy pastas. Examples with a good spice kick marry well with spicy Southeast Asian dishes. I just recently had the 2018 Dopff Pinot Gris from Alsace. This is a wine our Pinot Grigio drinkers should try and our pinot gris drinkers would love. Subdued scents of pear on the nose of this wine lead onto a palate that is bright, juicy and dry. Pear flavors are met with ripe lemon to give a rounded but always fresh and friendly wine. The finish is clean, mouthwatering and dry. Pop's Price $14.99 Pop's Mix Case Price $13.49 Local deliveries are free for any orders over $50.00 to Island Park, Below $50.00 a $5.00 will apply.
