About Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio

Pinot gris, pronounced pee-no gree, means “gray pinecone” in French. The name refers to the look and color of the grape clusters used to produce the white wine of the same name. Pinot gris grapes grow in pinecone-like cluster formations, ranging from pinkish gray to bluish gray to pinkish brown. Many different colors of pinot gris grapes are possible even on the same vine. The outer skin of these grapes may go through many color changes while growing, much like a chameleon’s skin.Pinot gris grapes grow best in cooler climates with long, but mild summers. Cooler climates help these grapes ripen fully and develop their rich flavors. Pinot gris wines are usually consumed fairly early in the aging process. When forced to ripen in hot summer conditions, pinot gris grapes are much less aromatic and lack their full character.The pinot gris grape is of the species vitis vinifera and is considered to be a mutation of the pinot noir grape. Pinot noir is a famous red grape of Burgundy, France and this grape is known for its natural ability to mutate. Pinot blanc is another clone of pinot noir. Pinot gris is known as pinot grigio in Italy and the two versions usually share hay and honey aromas, although the gris is slightly buttery, while the grigio is slightly smoky.

Philippines wine supplier known for its line of fine vintage wines, Yats Wine Cellars was established in 2000 to address the requirement of a growing population of wine enthusiasts in the Philippines. The wine shops of Yats Wine Cellars cater to the discerning client who requires these qualities in their wines: (1) excellent value, (2) large selection of labels and vintages to choose from and (3) wines properly aged for full enjoyment. This wine shop is generally regarded by wine lovers to be the best place to buy wine in Manila.

Yats Wine Cellars started off in Clark Freeport, Pampanga, an easy 90-minute drive along the North Expressway from Metro Manila. Category one wines can be found in the cellars of the fine-dining YATS Restaurant and Wine Lounge situated inside Clark’s Mimosa Leisure Estate, just before the Casino. Yats operates the largest wine shop in Philippines called the Clark Wine Center – an independent two-storey building located on the main road of Clark Freeport. Shopping in any one of the wine stores of Yats Wine Cellars is always an exciting and rewarding experience. Wine shops and wine stores can be found in Quezon City, Ortigas, Eastwood, Makati, Fort, Alabang, Metro Manila, Philippines.

This year Yats Wine Cellars have put together a few interesting packages containing wines that you don’t find in wine shops and super-markets in Manila. This alone makes the gift an interesting one to receive. Furthermore, the wines are not only enjoyable, they are interesting and worthy of bringing to dinner with friends and family.

The ability of fine wine to improve with age separates it from the rest of the field. Beers (except for bottle-conditioned Vintage Beers), Whiskey and Brandy for example stabilize once they are bottled and do not improve anymore. Wine has this uncanny ability, instinct even, to develop character and complexity inside the bottle.
