Jadix - Picpoul de Pinet 2021

Always a lovely and crisp white wine. This beams with pure, clean and juicy orchard fruits that surround a distinct mineral core. This is a perfect pairing with garlicky shrimp over pasta or raw oysters. 

Jadix is an extraordinary white wine made from the Picpoul (or “piquepoul”) grape cultivated in an area stretching along the string of lakes that make up the Thau lagoon, and bound by the ancient fishing villages of Agde, Pe zenas and Se te. These “marine” vineyards are among the oldest in the Mediterranean. Because of their prized location close to the sea, the Jadix vineyards are planted on a plateau of fossilized oyster beds, limestone, gravel and quartz soil and benefit from a sunny and dry climate tempered with the breezes from the Mediterranean. An elaborate subsoil network of fresh water and salt water conduits under the vineyards nourish the vines and contribute to the unique flavor of Jadix. Picpoul, which means “lip stinger” because of the naturally high acidic level, is a fruity, fresh, wine with delicious and slightly saline flavors: one could say “pinot grigio with an attitude.”

Tasting Notes: Clear yellow color with green highlights. Intense fruity bouquet of citrus and exotic fruits. Fresh in the mouth with good acidity and the unique hint of salinity typical of Picpoul.

Food Pairing: Best served young and chilled. Best served with bouillabaisse, fish soup and fricassee of fish, cuttlefish or other dishes with Mediterranean sauces, seafood and shellfish.
