Abadal Picapoll 2004 - 2005

A fresh, full-bodied, medium-dry white made entirely from the tiny picapoll, a delightful, oval-shaped grape indigenous to the Pla de Bages region of Catalunya. The wine's delicate, pale yellow colour and aromas of honeyed apricot and maracuya are largely thanks to the use of this eccentric little grape, known for its thick skin.

Thick skinned it may be, but few foodies remain impervious to the delights of this wine which can be enjoyed equally well with cold meats like Parma or Serrano ham or thumping main courses such as paella and risotto. Terrific with fowl or blue fish as well.
