Is it Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris?

Stefano de Pieri invites all Mildura residents (and visitors) to this interesting lecture. Stefano has been appointed Pinot G Spectrum Ambassador. The Spectrum is most likely to be adopted by most major Australian wine companies within the next 12 months.

“Less than a decade ago there was little if any Pinot G grown in Australia. Now it is a fast growing sector within alternative varieties, so much so that Pinot G is no longer admitted to the Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show. It has become “mainstream”, but consumers are confused about the Grigio/Gris aspect. The Spectrum will solve, in part, this dilemma and help consumers identify with a measure of ease where the wine fits in and therefore how it matches their expectations”, Stefano says.

Peter Godden will explain the science behind this project and how it may be applied to other wines in the future.
