Wine Tasting Notes
Picpoul's varietal character can be similar to that of Chardonnay, and this wine serves as a case in point. It has a beautiful expression of minerality laced into a seemingly familiar fragrant nose of apple and pear. Along with its fruit, it's the acid and texture that are really interesting. This wine was barrel fermented, put through malolactic fermentation, and then held on its lees for an extended ripening period. The result is a beautiful fusion of the fruit-butter-acid complex.
