Is this grape the future of Texas wine?
Meet Picpoul, a French variety thriving in the Texas heat and proving that bright, high-acid wines aren’t just for cool climates. Let’s talk about how Picpoul (a.k.a. “lip stinger”) is rewriting the rules of warm-climate winemaking, how acidity actually works in grapes, and why this grape could play a big role in the future of American wine.
We’ll taste it together too — think green apple, lemon, lime, and that hint of salinity that screams seafood night.
