2019 Cimarron Vineyard Picpoul Blanc

Picpoul Blanc (which translates to “lip-stinger”) is known for its bright, lemony character and razor sharp acidity. We picked this fruit fairly early (20.5 Brix) and arrested the fermentation with about 1/3% residual sugar to balance the impact of the grape’s high acid. This remarkably light and refreshing wine is more reminiscent of a lemon-lime soda pop than our typical white wines. It’s also a perfect pairing for a hot AZ day – which is probably why it always sells out so fast… Every year we beg Todd & Kelly Bostock to sell us a little more of this fruit, but they never budge. We’ll just count ourselves lucky that they continue to peel off one ton of this fruit for us every year!
