How it’s made
Unlike traditional wine, piquette is made by adding water to grape pomace—the skins and seeds left behind after pressing grapes for winemaking—and fermenting the remaining sugars. The result is a lightly fizzy, flavourful drink with bright fruit character and a lower alcohol content.
Our piquette starts with the pomace from Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Riesling grapes. After rehydrating the pomace, we fermented the mixture to extract the remaining flavours and aromas from the grape skins. Rather than bottling it right away, we aged it for six months in neutral oak barrels, allowing the solids to settle naturally and creating a slight haze similar to that found in some craft beers. It was then transferred to a pressure tank for a second fermentation, creating its lively bubbles using the same Charmat method we use for our sparkling wines.
How it tastes
Bursting with pineapple and mango aromas, this lightly sparkling summer sipper is crisp, refreshing, and easy-drinking. With alcohol levels similar to beer or cider, it’s a fun alternative for anyone looking to try something a little different. Dry.

Ingredients: Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay pomace (77%/15%/8%), filtered water, sugar, yeast, tartaric acid, sulphites.
