The inestimable Randall Grahm has long been a poet of Picpoul, among other things, and this lovely example is loaded with freshness and complexity. The aromatics are light and lovely, with crushed chalk and white flower coming to the fore. The zippy acidity soars in this 'lip stinger', which clocks in at only 10.5% alcohol. The palate is energetic and electric with grapefruit pith, unripe apricot and Key lime. Though the acid commands attention, a notable texture shines through as this wine finishes slightly savoury. Delightful. ... More details

The brand's founder, Randall Grahm, was one of the earliest proponents of this lip-smacking variety, and the grape keep delivering exciting results. Aromas of hollowed-out pear, white melon, Mandarin orange zest and white stone lead into a palate of white flowers, coconut flakes and crushed rocks. (Best Buy)
Winery
Subtle aromas of white flowers, pineapple, and beeswax lead to a unique, savory palate and a bracing acidity. This wine pairs perfectly with grilled octopus, moussaka, and shellfish.

Region: California

Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas – the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley – Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.

Country: United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Appellation: Central Coast

California's Central Coast has grown over the past century or so to become one of the United States' most important wine regions, producing an impressive amount of wines each year made from the vast array of grape varietals which thrive there. The hot Californian sunshine and brisk Pacific winds are ideal for growing the imported French and Italian grapes which typify the region, and the fertile soils of Central Coast help give these grape varietals their distinctive character, and big, bold, juicy flavors. By far the most popular varietals grown in Central Coast are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but this region produces both red and white wines of exceptionally high quality, using the latest in viticultural techniques and technologies. The wineries of Central Coast are dedicated to raising their profile, and displaying to the world just how good their unique terroirs really are.
