Picpoul
Filter
Picpoul, or Piquepoul, is a variety of white wine grape that is grown in France, mostly in the Languedoc region or in the Rhone Valley. This grape variety has several types—Piquepoul noir, the dark-skinnned variety and the light skinned type, Piquepoul blanc. Another type, Piquepoul gris, also exists, although it is not widely planted. Piquepoul blanc is the most planted type of the grape variety and it is grown more in France. This variety buds late in the year and has been a popular grape variety in the region. Picpoul wine was first thought to be poison, but after a well-known visitor drank a glass and labeled it safe, the myth was debunked. It was believed that the variety was initially mixed with Clairette. The grapes are high in acidity. Picpoul grapes tend to produce a low yield and are sensitive to diseases, such as oidium. In France, Piquepoul blanc is typically blended or is created into varietal wines. Both the blanc and noir types of the variety are used for Chateanuneuf-du-Pape. The grape variety creates wines that are known for their signature mineral taste, fresh citrus flavor, and high acidity. Picpoul wine pairs well with seafood dishes such as oysters, grilled fish, shrimp or crustaceans.

Clear and crystalline color of an intense pure yellow with golden reflections.
The aromas in retro-olfaction are particularly faithful to direct olfaction, also intense, complex and extend long in the final too.
It is a fresh, generous and round wine with a rich taste balance.
The entry is supple, the beautiful natural freshness of this exceptional Picpoul is revealed from the middle of palate and extends beautifully on the finish.
The nose is very expressive, flattering and complex.

Rudi Pichler is among the elite growers of the Wachau producing wines of precision, power, and longevity. Grüner Veltliner and Riesling make up 95% of the production with the remaining 5% shared between Weißburgunder and Roter Veltliner. Rudi Pichler belongs to the prestigious Vinea Wachau and vinifies under the strict parameters of their codex.
Yields are kept low between 30 and 35 hectoliters per hectare with botrytis carefully removed by hand. Grapes are crushed by foot and receive between three and 36 hours of maceration on the skins. Vinification is entirely in stainless-steel tanks and malolactic fermentation is avoided.
Hochrain, a name meaning "high place," is a southeast-facing terraced vineyard in Wösendorf sitting between 200 and 300 meters of elevation. The vineyard consists of an unusually high content of loess, a mineral-laden soil that produces wines that are especially broad and rich.
Review:
“A stunning wine for this grape that is also rather easy to understand. The Reine Claude plum and peppery nose is complex, but already charming. As exciting as the simultaneously creamy and succulent mid-palate is, what makes this medium- to full-bodied gruner veltliner really stand out is the extremely long, crushed rock finish.”

Chakana Cabernet Franc is made from 100 percent Cabernet Franc.
Chakana is the name of the Southern Cross constellation. Its rotation in the sky throughout the year made it an effective agricultural calendar for the ancient Andean people.
Expressive and ripe nose, juicy texture and intense fruit. Excellent balance, well integrated tannins and stunning minerality.
