Product Review
Clean and crisp aromas of honeydew. Refined with mineral, pear, and lime flavors with lingering exotic fruits.
Picpoul Blanc is one of the older white wine varietals from the south of France. It is often very acidic. In fact, a loose translation of Picpoul means stings the lip. That lip stinging quality refers to the grapes natural, very high acidity level.
The Languedoc and Roussillon are two adjoining but distinctly separate wine regions in southern France. The Languedoc consists of two main regions: The Aude, home to the sub-regions of Limoux, Corbieres, Fitou, Minervois, and the Herault, which includes Picpoul de Pinet and the vin doux naturels producing regions of Banyuls, Frontignan, Lunel and Mireval.
White wine is a wine whose color can be pale-yellow, yellow-green, and yellow-gold colored. The wine is produced from a variety of grape varieties. The flavor and color comes from the juice of the grape and sometimes the skin of the grape as well. Interestingly, not all white wine comes from white grapes. Some select red grapes are used as in Champagne.
