The 2021 vintage of this Perissos favorite is a medium straw color in color and offers a classic Picpoul nose of green apple and citrus; our warm Texas growing season has added pineapple, pear and tropical hints to the aromatic mix. The palate bursts with the bright acidity characteristic of the varietal, beautifully balanced by rich apple, citrus and tropical notes and followed with a clean, refreshing finish. This wine’s complexity gives it a broad pairing range, spanning fresh raw oysters and steamed shellfish through richer sea foods including salmon, fowl and chicken dishes as well as creamy sauce accompaniments and Gruyere, Camembert and Brie cheeses.
Daughter Lucy’s namesake wine is better than ever in the 2021 vintage, and is arriving just in time for the warm summer months! The newest estate blend is 74% Viognier, 16% Roussanne and 10% Picpoul Blanc, the Viognier and Picpoul aged in European Oak and the Roussanne in Acacia wood. A light straw gold, the new Lucy greets you with aromatics of apple, peach, mango, and white flowers with hints of salinity and baking spices. On the palate citrus and tropical fruit lead with a refreshing acidity and medium, satisfying mouth feel. The finish is crisp and clean, creating a delightful summer sipper as well as a natural accompaniment for cheeses and charcuterie, shellfish, seafood and lighter chicken dishes.
The 2021 vintage of our semi-sweet wine is now created by a 50% / 50% blend of High Plains Roussanne and Malvasia Bianca grapes. This pale gold wine immediately asserts itself with a rich nose of apple, peach, pear and honeysuckle. The palate explodes with these apple, pear, peach and white flower themes along with rich honeyed tropical and melon notes. The balanced acidity provides a satisfying mouthfeel and a clean finish. Serendipity’s semi-sweet character makes it a surprisingly good pairing partner with spicy, salty or sweet and sour dishes including Asian recipes.
