But before you dig in ... did you know these top 5 fun facts?
* Pronounced: pee-no gree-geo
* This variety was born in Burgundy France (called Pinot Gris) but the Pinot Grigio style most probably originated in Italy.
Pinot Gris wines are generally made from riper grapes exposed to the sun for longer. The resulting Pinot Gris wines are fuller-bodied, drier, and richer, and they feature more notes of tropical fruits than their Italian Grigio cousins.
* Pinot Grigio is not made from white wine grapes! 'Gris' or 'grigio' refers to the 'gray' or 'grayish-blue' shade of the berries
* The largest plantings of pinot gris are not found in France or Italy but in Germany
* Although these wines are not meant for aging, Alsatian styles are the exception and can be cellared for 5-10 years.

Tasting Notes
The human iris – As unique as a fingerprint and therefore the perfect symbol for our exceptionally high-quality wines. Every single one is genuinely unique – as unparalleled and individual as the occasions when we drink wine.
Producer
Modest Michael Opitz feels passionately about sustainability and quality and so decided to take the small family winery into being organic and as natural as possible on every level. All the wines are defined by their environment. The Neusiedlersee or Seewinkel, is a saltwater lake that, in this flat, warm part of Austria, brings tempering breezes, freshness and protection from disease. The wines as a result are tremendously pure, fresh, fragrant and yet salty.
