Balletto Late Harvest Pinot Gris Vin de Paille 2017
Review
Pinot Gris is not the easiest variety to coax into depth and complexity. It’s a high acid, extremely refreshing white wine. But when it is carefully made into a dessert wine, as it is here, complexity is the word of the day. The Balletto Winery often hits on all cylinders. They made VinePair’s top 25 rose of 2020 and came out at number one, and they continue on a hot streak with this bottle. The quality of the variety comes through with notes of comfy baking spices and a waft of flowers. That high acid is there balancing the sweetness, allowing your senses to enjoy the concentration of fruit. This is a great American sweet wine.
