Trousseau Gris
186 visitors
Trousseau Gris is a French variety of white wine grape. It is occasionally found in eastern France and was once widely grown in California under the name Gray Riesling. In cool climates it can produce fresh aromatic wines, but is rather dull in warmer regions. It needs gentle handling and careful winemaking to bring out its best.
It is a white mutation of the red Trousseau grape, better known as the port grape Bastardo. | | More information on Trousseau Gris |

2005 Trousseau Gris
The Fanucchi Wood Road Vineyard, of Russian River
Typical Tasting Notes: Crisp, Clean, Flowery bouquet, FRESH PEACHES, honeysuckle, pear, melon & delicate spice and tropical fruit flavors make it a delightful compliment to a wide ...morearray of foods! Compare its “Nose” to Viognier or Marsanne, with a gentler spice than a dry Gewürztraminer and far, far, more fruit than the best Pinot Gris could hope for! After bottling it can take a few months for this wine to open up, some times not opening up near it’s best till the following fall. In the event you forget a hidden bottle in the back of your cool dark, secret storage place, we've recently discovered that it's natural effervescence can also allow a few years of safe aging!
