Piquepoul 2024 - Black Market Deal #61447

Piquepoul - or “PIQ” if you’re mates - is the Barossa’s answer to the South of France’s favourite oyster wine. Grown in red soils over limestone, it’s all about sunshine and sunburn, like a surf lifesaver in budgie smugglers, minus the whistle. Picked early to keep the acid snappy and the booze low, it’s fermented cool and pressed gentle - result: crisp, textural, stupidly refreshing deliciousness. On the palate, we're getting lemon curd, lime zest, a lick of minerality and a clean, salty finish that’ll have you reaching for another schluck (that’s Barossan for “decent gulp”) PIQ’s pure sunshine in a bottle. Load the esky, grab the oysters, round up your mates, and chuck the gaffer tape on the tennis ball, beach cricket just found a new necessity.
