These are wines we do not produce annually, but may produce in the future when the circumstances allow.
Ti’quette is our name for old fashioned piquette, a light wine made from soaking the remaining seeds, stems and skins of a pressed wine. Ti’quette is a Quebecois diminiative for petite piquette.
This is along the lines of a dark rose or light red sparkler made from a blend of Marquette, Frontenac Gris, and Frontenac Blanc skins macerated for 8 days. A little Frontenac Gris was added back to ignite the fermentation in bottle.
Refreshing, a light fine bubble that is great as an aperitif or as something charming with the rest of the meal. Pairs just about with everything! Especially hot day!
