Gray Pinot

The homeland of Gray Pinot is Burgundy in France. It belongs to the narrower family of Pinots as it originates in bud mutation (hereditary change) of Blue Pinot. Historically speaking, Pinots are one of the oldest wine variety in the history of mankind.

In the beginning of the 18th century, Ruland, a merchant, discovered it in his vineyard in France and named it "rulander".

The vine is not choosy as to the soil, but too much moisture in the soil and drought periods do not agree with it. Its flourishing crop can be relied on.
