Picnic Punch Piquette of Pinot Noir (355ml can)

It's light and refreshing with red fruit, dried herbs and a zingy finish. A perfect sipper for those all day affairs.

Made in a centuries-old practice, Piquette involves rehydrating grape pomace (skins/seeds) after red wine has been pressed. The yeast and remaining natural grape sugars in the pomace continue to ferment, creating a lower-alcohol "second wine" that still picks up a lot of phenolic flavor compounds. In our version, we start with sustainably farmed Pinot Noir pomace and before canning, add a bit of grape juice and champagne yeast, prompting a "can-conditioning," an additional fermentation inside of the sealed can, which creates a natural effervescence. Think of it as a wine spritzer or summer cocktail rather than a glass of wine.
