Winemaking Process: Made from the pressed grape skins left over from the wine-making process, piquette is an ancient style of wine that has recently been experiencing a revival. A fair proportion of whole bunches was included, and as most of the fruit is pressed very lightly and had a lot left to give. It has resulted in quite a “full’ and reasonably (by Piquette standards) complex drink that does not lack any interest.
It sits at about 5.7 % Alcohol so has enough substance to stand tall with Pet-Nats while still being very refreshing because of the low alcohol
