Tasting notes

Lovely pale gold colour. Fresh, crisp with a hint of yellow flowers on the nose. Very fresh with great balance on the palate. A fairly full wine, fleshy yet fresh, ends deliciously with long acidity on the finish.

Vinification

Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures.

Ageing

4 to 5 months in stainless steel tanks.

Food pairing

Picpoul is often called "the oyster wine" and this is a classic pairing for it. It also goes well with shellfish and fish dishes. Its high acidity means it also cuts through fried or other rich, fatty foods and cleans the palate.
