This wine consists of 100% Picpoul (or Piquepoul) - a very popular, traditional local variety planted on sun-drenched hillsides called "costières" (coastal region) in the Mediterranean garrigue, near the Etang de Thau - a coastal lagoon situated between the port of Sète and Marseillan. The vines are 15-20 years old.
The garrigue is the name given to open scrubland made up of low-growing, dwarf bushy shrubs including holm oak, juniper, broom and wild herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage.
The color is a superb pale yellow with bright hues. The nose is elegant, with aromas of fresh fruit and citrus fruit especially grapefruit. Well-balanced with typical focusing and zesty acidity.
A pure expression of the grape varietal, the wine shows how good Picpoul can be when grown on its favorite terroir. Our best value, this wine impresses novices and hardened geeks equally.

Our Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay comes from the historic and storied Ritchie Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, originally planted in 1972. A different style than our Bennett Valley Chardonnay, this wine is leaner and full of apple and zest with mouth-watering brightness. Simultaneously, it's rich and creamy as a result of both oak and stainless steel aging. An age-worthy wine that screams for great food.
Nose: the wine exhibits citrus aromas (lemon, grapefruit) with smoky notes.
Palate: fresh and very aromatic attack. The palate is round, with a great acidity (coming from the later ripening sites at higher altitude). A lot of freshness on the finish mixed with salty notes, which express the minerality of the wine.
Sommelier's advice: Stuffed squids
Grape variety/varieties: Blend of Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris and Macabeu
