Picpoul

Picpoul (also known as Piquepoul) is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Languedoc region of southern France, especially around the Thau lagoon where it produces Picpoul de Pinet. The grape produces crisp, acidic wines with citrus notes, mineral qualities, and a distinctive saline character, making it an excellent pairing with seafood. Picpoul thrives in Mediterranean climates and is typically vinified into dry, refreshing white wines that maintain their acidity even in warm growing conditions.
