Gringet
Gringet is a rare and ancient grape variety that was nearly extinct until it was rediscovered in the 1980s in the Savoie region of France, and has since gained a cult following among wine enthusiasts
Varietal Origin: Gringet is native to the Savoie region in eastern France, specifically in the village of Ayse in the Val d'Arly valley. It is a local specialty of the region and is not widely grown outside of Savoie.
Taste Profile: Gringet wines are known for their fresh and vibrant character. They often exhibit mineral-driven and flinty aromas, along with notes of green apple, pear, and citrus. On the palate, Gringet wines are typically crisp and refreshing, with zesty acidity and a medium body. They can show some complexity with age, developing flavors of honey, almonds, and dried fruits.
Regional Styles: Gringet is primarily used to produce still white wines, often as single-varietal bottlings. It is typically vinified in stainless steel or neutral oak to highlight its fresh and mineral-driven character. Gringet wines are often enjoyed as young wines to fully appreciate their lively and crisp profile, although some producers also make sparkling wines using the traditional method
