French or Italian, different wines for different styles........

It is so easy to be confused by the differences between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio, but they are wines made in two very different styles! Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are in fact the exact same grape variety, a white grape, with a greyish / pinkish skin (Grey in French and Grigio in Italian) simply harvested at different points of maturity.

Pinot Gris, picked at the later end of harvest, tends to be more full-bodied, richer, spicier, and more viscous in texture. In our case (with the use of some French oak) tends to have greater cellaring and ageing potential.  The immensely popular, Italian style Pinot Grigio, is picked early to retain acidity and fresh fruit-driven characters is typically lighter-bodied, crisp, fresh, with vibrant nashi pear and floral aromas.

Gris and Grigio still hold favour with the crowds and Oakdene offers one of each kind, both outstanding representations of their intended style. The Single Vineyard Ly Ly Pinot Gris is close to our heart as it is named after Bernard & Liz granddaughter Eliza, whose name was shortened to Ly Ly by her older sister who at the time was unable pronouce her name!  Having said that, both of these are immensly popular wines that sell out every vintage.
