Shop Review:
Light and young, this is a straightforward but enjoyable selection that would be an ideal match for light fare such as grilled chicken salads or fluke. Apple flesh, nectarine, and sweet citrus oil aromas and flavors appear on the nose and palate, while the short finish is infused with a flavor of green melon rind.

My Review:
I find this wine to be very fruity smelling. The aroma is full of peach and nectarine. It is very playful on the nose and almost equally playful on the pallet. The Piquepoul has a very light and refreshing pallet. Not very fruity, but quite enjoyable. I almost purchased this one on the spot.
