About Pinot Gris

The Pinot Gris grape is considered a 'mutant clone' of the pinot noir variety; this grape can be considered one of nature's most delectable mistakes.

In some parts of the world, particularly Italy, Pinot Gris is known as Pinot Grigio.

In New Zealand, Pinot Gris explodes with rich, peachy, softly spi­cy ­flavours. Warmer climates in northern regions create ripe, full-bodied, oily styles, whilst the South Island produces big aromatics with great structure. 

Enjoy our Kono Pinot Gris served chilled but not too cold, best served between 43-53F (5-12C) in a classic white wine glass with a slight tulip shape.

We recommend drinking your Pinot Gris bottle within three to four days after opening. 

To maximise the shelf life of an unopened bottle of Pinot Gris (or any wine), store it in a cool, dark area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Try your best to keep the temperature steady.
