Bonny Doon Vineyard Picpoul 2024

“That 2023 will be hitting shelves soon, but for now, grab the 2022, which is a little richer and more flavourful than most French versions yet still wonderfully zippy. Its green-pear flavour, lemony acidity and appetite-provoking salty savour is exactly the ticket when it’s 95 °F (35 °C) and your brain feels like it’s melting but you really must eat something. With Picpoul, there’s no cooking necessary: it goes with all manner of leafy salads, crunchy raw vegetables and raw seafood; it’s got the acidity to take on your preserved seafood swimming in olive oil or match the tang of a herb-covered round of goat’s cheese. And with its naturally low alcohol, it’s not tiring.”Tara Q Thomas,  Jancis Robinson MW Purple Pages Wine of The Week 28/6/2024
