Organic Picpoul De Pinet
Sea Change Organic Picpoul de Pinet 2024
Piquepoul blanc, AOC Languedoc, France
We’re delighted to introduce the latest addition to the Sea Change Wine range. Crafted with care and precision in a unique corner of the world, if ever a wine was to reflect its sense of place, Sea Change Organic Picpoul de Pinet is it.
The vineyards which produce our Organic Picpoul de Pinet run along the southern French coast, separated from the waves of the Mediterranean Sea by a large salt water lagoon. The area is perfectly suited to producing Picpoul, one of the oldest domestic French varieties of grape, thanks to its long hot summers and mild winters.
Sea Change Organic Picpoul de Pinet is easily identifiable thanks to its distinctive Neptune bottle with a Languedoc cross and a ring of gentle waves around the neck, and columns symbolising Roman Doric architecture at the base.
Tasting Notes
Sea Change Organic Picpoul de Pinet has aromas that include citrus blossom and Mediterranean herbs. The name Picpoul translates as ‘stings the lip’ and refers to the mouthwatering acidity of this variety, which offers salty minerality reminiscent of the ocean.
Food Pairings
Thanks to the winery’s coastal proximity, it’s no surprise that Sea Change Organic Picpoul de Pinet is a perfect match for fresh seafood. It also enjoys the company of salty and creamy cheeses, grilled fish or white meat. If you’re feeling adventurous, try our Picpoul with Asian food like Pad Thai.
Environmental benefits
Discover a fantastic taste experience while benefiting our charity partners with every pour. Their work helps protect our ocean and its inhabitants – including the Angelfish featured on our Picpoul labels. Their coral reef habitat is under enormous threat from pollution, destructive fishing practices, coastal development and climate change. According to the WWF, over the last three decades, the world has lost half of its reefs.
Crafted with care and precision in a unique corner of the world, if ever a wine was to reflect its sense of place, Sea Change Organic Picpoul de Pinet is it.

Find yourself a new favourite wine from Sea Change, a social enterprise making waves of change with their eco-friendly wines.
These winemakers are committed to creating exceptional drinks and caring for our oceans in equal measure. Look closely at the beautiful hand drawn illustrations on each bottle and you’ll notice the marine animals depicted have bits of plastic inside, reflecting the effects of plastic pollution.
Keen to be part of the solution, Sea Change put real thought into their own packaging. There are none of those plastic wraps around their bottle tops and the labels are a mix of paper from certified sustainable forests and grape waste too. Even the corks are made from a renewable plant-based material.
Sea Change also gives back to conservation charities who help protect marine animals too, making a donation for every bottle sold. All this adds up to a lot of small ripples of change and one big positive impact per bottle. In fact, they've now donated a whopping €500,000 to charity.
Better still, there’s a great variety in their award-winning range. So you can toast to making a difference whether you’re partial to a prosecco, reds like negroamaro, whites like sauvignon blanc or a rosé.
