Pinot Gris (Szürkebarát) is a white wine from Hungary, especially from the Badacsony region. It has a pale golden color and a rich, fruity taste. This wine features aromas of ripe pear, apple, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with flavors of stone fruit, honey, and a smooth, creamy finish. Pinot Gris pairs excellently with poultry, creamy pasta dishes, and seafood. Its full-bodied nature makes it suitable for both casual and formal meals.
The local name is Szürkebarát, which means "Grey Monk," inspired by Cistercian monks who are believed to have brought the grape to Hungary in the 14th century. They planted it in the volcanic soils of the Badacsony region, where it thrives to this day.
Pinot Gris (Szürkebarát) is excellent with "Pork Tenderloin," the wine's body and acidity balancing the meat, or pair it with "Mushroom Dishes," where its earthiness enhances the flavors.
