A crisp, subtly apply and seafood friendly Picpoul de Pinet from the Languedoc.

Sometimes thought of as the Muscadet of the south Picpoul de Pinet is just as
zingy, crisp and dry as its Loire Valley counterpart, but often has a little bit
more of a grapey feel about it which probably accounts for it's great popularity
in recent years. For Joseph Albajan's Château de la Mirande the proximity to the
sea of his vines seems to lend a bright and briny character to site alongside
the hint of white flowers and plentiful ripe green fruit at the core. It's not
at all austere, but nicely mouthfilling while retaining all the zip and zing
expected of a wine like this.
