2024 McLaren Vale Picpoul - Dozen
$12.50 Bottle
Winemaking - A cool vintage led to great flavour development at low baumes whilst retaining great acidity. Fruit from the estate was selectively harvested with just the freerun juice being used for this Picpoul. The juice was settled prior to a long, cool ferment which helped to maintain all the lovely notes from the idyllic 2024 vintage. Following ferment, the wine spent at least one month on lees with regular stirring to help build
palate weight and mouthfeel. Vegan friendly.
Tasting Note - Pale in colour, this fresh Picpoul has lifted aromas of lemon myrtle, quince and citrus. The palate displays crisp green apples, quince and honeysuckle making it a lovely fresh, crisp drinking white wine. Best enjoyed chilled.
91 points The Wine Front - "Lemon, green pear, aniseed. It’s a little bit fleshy, green pear and mint with something of a tonic water bite, some grip and chalkiness to texture, slightly sandy even, with lemon zest and a tangy bite to a finish of good length." Gary Walsh
