Piquette
Piquette is a low alcohol wine style beverage made from taking the pressed grapes from winemak- ing and adding water to ferment out the remaining sugars and flavors for a lighter and lower ABV wine-like beverage.
It’s essentially a natural wine spritzer.
Winemakers notes
Our wine and piquette blend showcases the harmony of a traditional wine making method and sustainability by re-hydrating wine skins. Piquette, which means ‘prickly’ is a light spritzy beverage that dates back to ancient Greek and Roman times. During harvest, we have TONS of grape pomace with little purpose but to be composted. It’s with a resourceful and creative spirit that we decided to try our hand at making fresh, alluring, and artful piquette. Our music wine series showcases piquette in a unique light. Each vintage is a wine + piquette blend that showcases the harmony between traditional winemaking and sustainability to create this modern classic.
