Its origins were in the Loire Valley of France where farmers and vineyard workers made use of the leftover grape pomace after pressing grapes for wine. The pomace is re-fermented with water and sugar, creating a lightly effervescent wine with lower alcohol content and a unique, refreshing taste. Because Piquette is made from pressed pomace rather than juice, it is not eligible for VQA designation. Our Piquette is produced using the same traditional method, while innovating by using local apple cider in the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariety: Multi-varietal pomace blend (Gamay Noir, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sauv Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Vidal, Marquette, Syrah)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Piquette (Non-VQA — pomace-based)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 7.2%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidual Sugar: 3 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSO2 @ Bottling: 3 mg\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in: Prince Edward County, Ontario\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeach pies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreamy Brie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFruit salads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnything light and fresh on a summer afternoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best served chilled at 7–11°C in a tulip glass or flute to preserve the bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFind at LCBO\u003c\/strong\u003e — SKU 44557 | \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/find-us-at-the-lcbo\"\u003eAll Traynor wines at the LCBO →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I serve Ophelia Piquette?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs cold as your fridge will make it.

Both varietals were cold-soaked on the skins for 10 days before gently pressing to reduce tannin. Once pressed, these wines completed a very cold fermentation, which brought out the tropical nose.
