White Apple Piquette

Say hello to our White Apple Piquette, a unique sparkling wine that bridges the worlds of cider and Piquette. Made by fermenting a blend of eight locally grown apple varieties on Chardonnay, Riesling, and Vidal grape skins, this effervescent wine offers a refreshing twist on tradition.

Tasting Notes:
On the nose, enjoy the vibrant aromas of fresh red apples with hints of citrus and floral undertones. The palate reveals crisp tart acidity and a pleasing tannic structure from the grape skins, balanced by a subtle sweetness. A lively, refreshing finish makes this an ideal choice for any occasion.

Winemaker's Notes:
This year’s White Apple Piquette showcases the perfect marriage of locally sourced apples—Macintosh, Spy, Gala, Golden Delicious, Zestar, Ida Red, Honeycrisp, Ambrosia, and Delicious—and the pressed grape skins of Chardonnay, Riesling, and Vidal. The fermentation on grape pomace enhances the cider’s body and adds complexity, delivering a product that’s as innovative as it is delicious. The result is a sparkling wine that’s crisp, lightly tannic, and full of character.

Historical & Method of Production:
Piquette, an ancient winemaking method from France, traditionally reuses grape pomace to create lightly effervescent, low-alcohol wines. We’ve taken this sustainable concept and given it a fresh twist by combining grape pomace with apple cider. This blend results in a sparkling wine that honours tradition while embracing local flavours.
