Picpoul de Pinet

This wine is golden in color. Aromas of lemons and limes dominate the mineral-laden nose. The palate offers a rippingly fresh acidity, and flavors of stone fruit and citrus appear abundantly.

Did You Know?
The name Picpoul literally means “lip stinger” in Occitan, a nod to the grape’s naturally high acidity.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
A fantastic patio companion, crispy, fresh, and wonderfully drinkable. Cheers!

Lip smacking delicious! Pale yellow green straw. Loads of citrus and minerals, aromatic flowers, and honeydew. I always enjoy this wine, from a region that is often overlooked.

Still surprises me how much I love this variety of wine. There’s just amazing citrusy, white orchard fruit, but a savory under pining that makes them incredible with food.

Different than what we usually drink, nice change, a bit austere, nice fruit

#picpoul from Trader Joe’s, sharp acidity but refreshing acidity, nice for a hot summer evening.
