A new variety for us here at Holly's Hill. Picpoul is a white Rhone variety brought to the US from the Chateau de Beaucastel winery in Chateauneuf du Pape. We have grafted enough of this variety to use in our white blend Patriarche Blanc. It is known for its floral aromatics and acidity. Look for the first crop in 2012.
