Meet The Ojai Vineyard’s debut bottling of Picpo Meet The Ojai Vineyard’s debut bottling of Picpoul—our 2024 Nolan Ranch Picpoul. If you’re unfamiliar, Picpoul is an obscure sun-loving grape from the South of France. It is known for being a crisp, high-acid counterpoint for blending with the richer, weightier white varieties of the Southern Rhone (like Viognier, Roussanne, etc). In the Languedoc’s town of Pinet, it’s bottled as a varietal wine that is lemony and direct— often dubbed an “oyster wine.”With those humble origins, this Picpoul defies expectations with an uncommonly layered and textured appeal. That’s a product of Californian sunshine, which tends to bring a richer tilt to this grape, but also our more Burgundian approach to winemaking. Instead of using stainless steel to preserve its crisp edge, we used neutral French oak to ferment and age this wine (like all our whites). This provides breadth and richness that you can’t usually find in Picpoul.
