We also grew Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc on an experimental basis in Yorkshire and they all ripened well by late October . . . it was just a shame we didn't grow enough to make varietal wines with them. I loved the growth habit of these vines and have always enjoyed the expressions of these grapes from the Alsace and Italy.
