Wine-grower Ernst Fischer controls his pinot gris ice wine grapes on January 10, 2012 in a vineyard near Dromersheim, western Germany. Due to mild temperatures, wine-growers in the western Rhine region fear for their ice wine crop. The dessert wine is produced from grapes that have been frozen and need at least seven degrees Celsius below the freezing point before being harvested.
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. The clone of Pinot gris grown in Italy is known as Pinot grigio.
