Tasting- Dom de Sol Picpoul de Pinet

The Dom de Sol Picpoul de Pinet is the third wine we tried at the Vintage Cellar yesterday. It is from Languedoc, France 2011, Picpoul Blanc variety, priced at $9.95. The Vintage Cellar said, "From one of the oldest indigenous varietals to the Languedoc, Picpoul Blanc is the ideal partner to a number of fish and shellfish dishes. The wine is a golden colour with green tints. The nose is fruity with hints of rose petal and lime. The palate is quite light and dry with lively acidity". I really enjoyed this wine, it had a sweet smell that gave the impression it was going to have a very sweet taste, but to my surprise it had a dry, freshness to it that I was not expecting.
