Picpoul de Pinet Tête de Cuvée AOP Picpoul de Pinet, 2021

A subtle wine which is light on the palate, it has delicate apple blossom, honeydew melon and herbal characters with a crisp lemon finish. The Picpoul de Pinet Appellation is located behind the Étang de Thau – a saltwater lagoon close to Sète. The lagoon, roughly 20 kilometres long by eight kilometres wide, is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a narrow strip of land and is an area for fishing and shellfish cultivation – and in particular oysters. The Appellation sits behind the lagoon, making refreshing dry white wines from the Picpoul grape. It is one of the few Appellations in Languedoc to focus solely on white wines, thanks to the grape’s ability to ripen late and retain high natural acidity.
