I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pip's ideal' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'extracted from grapes? tell agriculturist' is the wordplay.
'extracted from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ESTELLA' is hidden within 'grapes tell agriculturist'.
