Prickly, fresh, easy drinking white wine, ideal for shellfish and lighter foods. This delicious wine from Chateau de la Mirande is a lovely easy drinking, dry, crispwhite wine with good body and persistence. With a spicy aniseed bouquet, green fruits and herbs, ample mouth feel along with savoury flavours of iodine, yellow plum and pepper. Picpoul is an ancient grape variety which has the sort of green tinged fruit and crisp acidity one would associate with Muscadet, but with more vinosity. Perfect with oysters, shellfish platters, lobster, crayfish and grilled fish.
Grapes are harvested at night, pneumatic pressure, and must settling. Temperature controlled fermentation (14-16C) for 20-25 days in concrete tank. Traditionally drunk with the famous 'huitres de Bouzygues', (oysters) that are harvested from the adjacent Etang de Thau.

Very happy with product and the packaging.
Very happy with product and the packaging. However when the courier tried to deliver we were out so they left the package on our driveway. Thankfully a kind neighbour took the package in for us.
