THE GRAPE AND ITS ORIGINS
Picpoul, also known as Piquepoul, is an ancient white wine grape variety primarily grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. The specific name "Picpoul de Pinet" refers to the vineyards surrounding the picturesque village of Pinet, located near the Mediterranean coast. This area with its unique terroir, sunny climate, and cooling sea breezes, provides the perfect conditions for cultivating this distinctive grape.
WHAT MAKES SEA CHANGE PICPOUL DE PINET SPECIAL?
This wine is celebrated for its bright acidity and fresh, citrusy flavours, often featuring notes of green apple, lemon zest, and occasionally a hint of minerality. The name ‘Picpoul’ translates as "lip stinger," a testament to the grape’s high acidity – a characteristic that lends the wine its crisp, refreshing finish.
