Adelaida Picpoul Blanc Anna’s Estate Vineyard 2021

The 2021 Adelaida Picpoul Blanc from Anna’s Estate Vineyard offers a unique and vibrant experience. Winemaker Jeremy Weintraub has crafted this exceptional varietal from Adelaida Winery’s organically-farmed vineyards in the coastal-influenced Santa Lucia Mountain Range. This wine stands out for its bright acidity and fresh flavors, making it perfect for warm summer days.

The color of the Adelaida Picpoul Blanc is a light green, reflecting its crisp and refreshing nature. On the nose, you’ll detect aromas of orange blossom, pineapple, and rhubarb, creating an inviting and bright bouquet. These aromas set the stage for a palate that bursts with mouth-coating flavors of nectarine, lemon custard, and sea salt taffy. The wine’s minerality and vibrant acids balance these flavors, enriched by a lush and tropical texture. The finish is long, clean, and lingering, with hints of pina colada and saline minerality that leave a lasting impression.

This Picpoul Blanc maintains its bright acidity, a characteristic derived from its Southern Rhône origins, and develops an appealing tropical lushness thanks to the unique conditions of Adelaida Vineyards & Winery. The calcareous limestone soil of Anna’s Estate Vineyard, located at elevations between 1595 and 1935 feet, contributes to the wine’s distinct minerality and fresh profile.

The 2021 growing season at Adelaida Winery saw cool and dry winter months, leading to an early bud break. The moderate spring and warm summer, with minimal heat waves, allowed the grapes to develop slowly and maintain high acidity. These ideal conditions resulted in a wine that beautifully captures the essence of its vineyard.

Pair the Adelaida Picpoul Blanc with fresh hamachi nigiri sushi or seared scallops and white asparagus with beurre blanc sauce. These food pairings highlight the wine’s crisp and vibrant character, enhancing your dining experience.
