Piquepoul gris

Like Piquepoul blanc, it is a mutation of Piquepoul noir, but whose berries take on a gray color when ripe. It is also called Piquepoul rose. It is very rare, but it is appreciated in blends for its contribution to acidity. It is only authorized in the AOC Tavel and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
