Chapel Hill Pinot Grigio

Chapel Hill Pinot Grigio from Balatonboglar, Hungary. Beautiful honest wine. The wine illustrates the fresh, spicy and lively character of Pinot Grigio. Aromas of ripe citrus and green apple combined with balanced fine acidity and a nicely rounded palate. A medium-bodied and harmonious wine.

Pinot Gris, the grapes get a light pink-grey colour when they are fully ripe. The character varies from lush and fat to light and lively. The pinot gris provides spiciness in the wine. In Alsace, the pinot gris is harvested late and a rich, complex wine is made from it. In Italy, where the grape is called Pinot Grigio, they harvest early and make a lively, fresh wine. The grape is also successful in Germany and is used to make wines in Alsatian style and with a semi-dry taste. Here the grape is called Ruländer, grauer burgunder (Grauburgunder) or grauklevner. Ruländer is widely planted in the Baden wine region.
