Pinot gris is a white wine grape variety of the species Vitis vinifera. Thought to be a mutant clone of the Pinot noir grape, it normally has a grayish-blue fruit, accounting for its name ("gris" meaning "gray" in French) but the grape can have a brownish pink to black and even white appearance. The word "Pinot", which means "pinecone" in French, could have been given to it because the grapes grow in small pinecone-shaped clusters. The wines produced from this grape also vary in color from a deep golden yellow to copper and even a light shade of pink.1 The clone of Pinot gris grown in Italy is known as Pinot grigio. Due to the grape's rising popularity, ACNielsen research data predicts that Pinot gris/Pinot grigio sales will overtake White Zinfandel as the fourth best selling varietal in the US by the end of 2007
