Piquepoul Blanc

This grape variety originated from Languedoc. There are also gray and black variants of this grape variety. In France, it is mainly cultivated in the Hérault to make AOC Picpoul de Pinet. Piquepoul Blanc is also grown in northern Spain, especially Catalonia. Piquepoul Blanc is a late-ripening grape variety so it requires a hot climate and good sun exposure. This grape variety is high-yielding, so it is generally pruned short. It is susceptible to gray rot, powdery mildew, and bud mite disease. The bunches are large, with medium-sized grapes. Wines made from Piquepoul Blanc are often very pale in color with herbaceous aromas. They are usually dry, lively, and very pleasant to drink - ideal with seafood from the nearby Mediterranean.
