Unwooded "Balletto Vineyard" Pinot Gris

Unwooded "Balletto Vineyard" Pinot Gris Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: We were extremely proud when this wine won "Best of Class" at the 2005 San Francisco International Wine Competition. We knew from the outset that the makings of a great wine were at hand. The grapes from John Balletto's vineyard came in looking pristine. The resulting wine is one of rich, forward fruit flavors with a bright, crisp mouthfeel making it quite refreshing. We think you'll enjoy the melon, peach and key lime flavors and aromas that define this beautiful Pinot Gris.

Varietal Definition
Pinot Grigio/Gris:
Pinkish-white variety producing a very crisp white wine. Grown in Oregon, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and more and more in California, it shows promise for other cool climates. Also known as Tokay d'Alsace in France, Rulander in Germany, and Pinot Grigio in Italy.
