Picpoul De Pinet At A Bargain

The 2023 Moulin de Gassac Picpoul de Pinet was made from Picpoul grapes grown in the AOP Picpoul de Pinet, in the Languedoc region in the south of France. Alcohol sits at 12.5% abv and the wine costs less than $10 at Trader Joe's.

This wine is golden colored in the glass. The nose is loaded with fruit. I find peach, pear, apple, and mango in the aroma profile, along with a hint of minerality and citrus. The palate is refreshingly acidic and shows apple, pear, lemon and lime flavors. I paired it with a ham and provolone sandwich and was glad I did. If you have some shrimp or crab that’s not doing anything, that should work even better.
