Bonny Doon Vineyard Arroyo Seco Picpoul 2021 750ml

“Picpoul” translates literally to “lip stinger”. It is a high acid, savory, white, rustic grape variety, especially well suited for seafood. Thrifty (which is to say it overcrops like nobody’s business), extremely high yielding, the vines must be aggressively thinned for uniform ripeness and flavor intensity.

The potential for Picpoul remains strong, thanks to bottlings like this. Fresh and clean aromas of white peach and lime sorbet show on the nose. The palate is broad with red-pear and nectarine flavors, as acid rises into the finish alongside a white-flower element. Alcohol 11%.
