The palate is crisp and tart, with a pleasing tannic structure from the grape skins balanced by subtle sweetness. Lively, refreshing finish.

★ Winemaker's note

The story behind this bottle

This year's White Apple Piquette showcases the perfect marriage of locally sourced apples — McIntosh, Spy, Gala, Golden Delicious, Zestar, Ida Red, Honeycrisp, Ambrosia — and the pressed grape skins of Chardonnay, Riesling, and Vidal. Fermentation on grape pomace enhances the cider's body and adds complexity. The result is a sparkling wine that's crisp, lightly tannic, and full of character.

★ The heritage ★

How this style began.

Piquette is an ancient winemaking method from France that 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 local apple cider. The result honours tradition while embracing local Ontario flavours.
