Aged
Picpoul Blanc? Perhaps to boldly go where no Texas Picpoul Blanc has gone
before! Picked from Timmons Vineyard of
the Texas High Plains AVA, this dry white wine was aged with the skins on. It pours a deep straw-colored hue and quicky
fills the air with scents of pear and citrus. Your palate will welcome the rich
texture of this wine as notes of apples and a touch of butter permeate your
tastebuds. There is a touch of oak in
this rare beast coupled with good minerality. This wine has an excellent finish
that is reminiscent of a good quality Chardonnay. You could nearly call this wine a full-bodied
white that is also a great example of pushing the envelope of what a Texas
white wine can be. If you have some bottles left, yes, they can keep on aging
at least a couple more years. This is a
white wine that just increases the respectability for Texas white wines.
Cheers!
