Grapes into wine: Making Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris is a monumentally popular white wine.

As Italy's Pinot Grigio, it's produced and guzzled by the ocean load, while Alsace is famed for a richer, spicier, more textural food-oriented version.

With its cool maritime climate, Australia's Mornington Peninsula has made a name for itself with a style that leans more towards the sophistication and complexity of Alsace, while keeping refreshment a priority.

But how do those grapes become that wine?

I headed to the Scorpo Vineyard in Merricks North to track the fruit from vine to winery. In this video I seek to explain in minute but easy-to-grasp detail the choices and actions taken in delivering this drink to you.
