Fantastic with oysters and shellfish as the perfectly pitched acid neutralises the salt and iodine in seafood.

TASTING NOTE: 

This is a superb sparkling piquepoul from…Picpoul! Produced using ‘agriculture raisonne’ principals, this wine spent almost 3 years on lees before being disgorged in October 2013. The result is fantastic! Lovely fine bubbles instantly indicate a wine of quality and finesse whilst the double fermentation has allowed structure and depth to permeate through. A fresh, delicate and nicely rounded wine with lightly stewed apples and clean fruity tones on the nose. Instantly appealing, the layers of flavours swirl around your mouth to reveal a slight creaminess, warmth, stewed apples, a touch of clove, warmth and finesse.
