Patience is a new, more gastronomic, style of Picpoul. It is something special for Picpoul lovers in search of the next level.
In the glass it has a pale colour, flecked with touches of gold. The nose is fresh and fruity with notes of peaches and pears. Given a little time to breathe, it expresses a discreet minerality.
Lively and fresh on the palate with a richness, supported by citrus flavours. Time on less gives this a textural, creamy, buttery feeling. The finish is long.
It will go perfectly with monkfish fillet or cuttlefish, or with white meats and cheeses.
"An exceptional wine to add to your portfolio! With a nose of cooked peaches (as in Tarte Tatin) it rolls into a dense fruit-driven middle of seasonal fruit compote finishing with a lingering freshness plus a textured body. Serve with creamy dishes and soft cheese for a new taste sensation." Stephen Barrett
I love Picpoul. Zippy and fresh - great for summertime drinking.
