Salt Shaker Central Coast Picpoul 2021
Flavor Profile
Inspired by the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean that shake the salty sea all day and night, Salt Shaker Picpoul is an exhilaratingly fresh white. It’s crafted from Picpoul, a southern French grape that reaches new levels of expressiveness in sunny California.
Delightfully dry and zippy, Salt Shaker offers waves of fresh citrus, peach and floral notes, complemented by a classic mineral hint. There’s a vibrant acidity here and a mouthwatering finish that Sauvignon Blanc fans will love. It even won a silver medalat the Sunset International Wine Competition. Pull out your bottle when you have white wine lovers over and see if they can guess the grape!
Best-selling wine writer Oz Clarke says the name Pipoul means ‘lipstinger’ (which is hard to imagine for such a mild-mannered white), while southern French locals claim it refers to the habit of local chickens (‘poules’) pecking at fallen grapes. We think top critic Olly Smith sums it up best: “Brilliant value and zinging with lemony freshness...if you like white wine, you’ll love Picpoul.”
Between its lip-smacking flavors and lighter alcohol level (just 10% ABV), Salt Shaker is a wonderful aperitif that’s made for pouring generously. It also pairs beautifully with fresh seafood and crisp salads. Order your share today.
