Originally from France, Grauburgunder is known internationally as Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio. The word Pinot is derived from the French word for pine pin, since the shape of the Pinot Gris grapes is reminiscent of a pine cone. Many still know the Grauburgunder grape variety as Ruländer, as it is also entered in the Federal Offices grape variety register. The name Ruländer goes back to the merchant Johann Seger Ruland, who is said to have discovered the extremely unusual, reddish grape berries in his garden in Speyer in 1711 and who contributed to the spread of this grape variety. Ruländer wines like to be sweet and lush.
