Piquette
Cabernet Franc, Hillier, Prince Edward County (PEC), Ontario
We love a chic lil up-cycle moment, and this delicious, low-alcohol banger came straight from Flavourtown (⢠Guy Fieri). Experienced winemaker Mackenzie Brisbois, is delivering minimal intervention wines from PEC that are intriguing to say the least. âPiquetteâ, also known as âsecond wineâ, is made from a second pressing of grapes. Trail Estate pressed these luscious cab franc grapes gently, and they therefor were left with juicier grape pomace (skins). To the pomace they add a bit of water and ferment a second time, and their personal little twist is adding herb & botanical infusions sourced from their property! PLUS, an incorporation of flor-aged verjus was made for a surge of acidity. A welcome spritz that can turn any weekday into a small celebration, with light green pepper, honey xun, sour cherry, sour patch kids, cranberry mocktail & resilient cab tannins. Not your average Cabernet Franc by a long shot, chill and enjoy with ritz cracker sandwiches on the beach.
